Pineapple Upside-Down Pumpkin Gingerbread Cake
I have a ton of recipes that I want to make that I get from my monthly rags. This one just jumped the entire pile and was made right after viewing it.
Granted the title or name of the cake is a mouthful, but I assure you, it is a sweet, moist mouthful of ginger, pumkin-y, pineapple goodness!
Normally it is the wife who is the baker, but this cake was a team effort. I picked up some chocolate so I could make this cake from Claudia, but it had to wait.
We’ll do the chocolate this weekend.
Make this!

ok - so that looks wonderful, as in, what;s not to like... but i just want to know one thing...
how much butta you gonna use?
i made it again saturday and used 8 T and really, i kinda liked it with the whole lb... is that crazy?
either way - so good. i used scharfenberger chocolate and that helps. no matter how you slice it it's close to a $15 cake if you use plugra, the best chocolate etc...
worth it

RecipeGirl: It turned out really well. Give it a shot.
Hélène: Thanks. You know, I've had pineapple upside-down cake, gingerbread, and even pumpkin cake, but never all in one.
Claudia: I have the Plugra waiting!!!! A brick of it.

This sounds decadent. I haven't made a regular pineapple upside down cake in a while. My paper published a recipe from Trisha Yearwood's cookbook and I laughed long, hard, and loud because...well, I think I was upset that she has a cookbook with this cake in it. I mean...I followed the recipe and made it, but it didn't taste any different or more special than my grandma's. Except grandma always made hers in the big cast iron skillet.

Wow that looks great - how funny that you baked right when you were telling me it is your wife who does the sweets in your house!

Donald, I was shocked to see a dessert-thinking I had wandered to the wrong site. This looks so good and I am going to try it butter and all just on the recommendation of you and Claudia! The husband loves pineapple. Keep baking, your'e doing splendid.

Looks so delicious. I know Martha Stewart has a recipe that is similar. But the ginger is a new but lightly spiced touch. Can't wait to try.

Now this is a tasty combination. I love the idea of combining Summer and Fall/Winter flavors .

I'm generally a pumpkin purist, only wanting it in pies. But this lovely cake could change my mind, Donald. Nicely done!

Wow! What a great dessert. I love both gingerbread and pineapple. I'm definitely going to try this. If you interested in why you should buy organic pineapple, read this http://www.newrinkles.com/index.php/archive/did-you-know-pineapple/
