This isn’t the pineapple upside-down cake many of us grew up with—the one made with canned pineapple rings, maraschino cherries, and a box of yellow cake mix. This version is fully homemade, with caramelized fresh pineapple and a soft, buttery cake that bakes up golden. It takes a little more effort than the retro classic, but the flavor and texture are well worth it, and it’s still easy enough for a relaxed weekend.
