Homemade Pineapple Upside Down Cake
I know it doesn't look perfect like all the food websites and Pinterest. It tasted yummy though and there is none left!
It's pretty easy to make.
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 egg whites
1/4 cup of butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 can of sliced pineapple
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
You sift together the flour and baking powder, then set it aside.
Whip the egg whites together. Mix in the sugar until it is a creamy substance.
Add the pineapple juice from the can to the flour/baking powder mix. I'm not sure how much I added, I didn't measure it. It was enough to make it a batter.
Fold in the egg/sugar mixture to the batter.
Put the butter in the cast iron and melt it. When it is completely melted, add in the brown sugar. I didn't measure this out either. I just made sure it was enough to cover the bottom of the skillet. Make sure it is spread evenly on the bottom of the pan. Add the pineapple slices in the pattern above.
Spread the batter mix evenly over the pineapples.
Bake in the oven for 30 - 40 minutes.
Flip it out of the cast iron skillet onto a cake plate.
ENJOY!
Serves 8 people.

Ham and Cheese Sliders
I'm going to move some stuff from my other blog over here, before making it inactive. This is one recipe that I have had a lot of success with and is a hit on Pinterest.
Here is another creation of mine.
Fresh bakery rolls -- I used a package of 12
Deli Honey Ham
Provolone Cheese
Miracle Whip
I sprayed the pan with cooking spray. My daughter put the sandwiches together while I made the sauce. Each roll was cut in half. She put Miracle Whip on one side of the roll. Two pieces of yummy ham and a slice of provolone on each roll.
Sauce Recipe:
Equal Parts of Yellow Mustard and Honey
3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 cup melted Butter
Poppy Seeds to taste
After my daughter assembled the sandwiches, we poured the sauce on top. We put the over at 350 and let them cook for about 15 minutes.
They turned out a perfect golden brown and there was not a single slider left.
And don't forget your pickle on the side!
