Ginger Pineapple Upside Down Loaf

We’ve been eating more pineapple lately. It is one of my favourite fruits. You can’t help but think about the tropics when you bite into a juicy piece of pineapple. It’s so good by itself that I forget that it is also a great baking ingredient. Sweet pineapple melds well with ginger to make this delicious upside down loaf.

Whip this delicious Ginger Pineapple Upside Down Loaf together in a snap. Starting with a box of Spice Cake makes the recipe come together quickly. Adding extra spices means it won’t taste semi-homemade. Win/Win, right?

Serve it warm with creamy vanilla ice cream or a scoop pinapple sorbet. At Disney World, they serve Dole Whip on top of pineapple upside down cake. Believe me, if they serve it there, you KNOW it has to be good. Now you can enjoy it at home!
