If you haven’t been to her site you’re missing out!
I have been a reader of hers for a LONG time!
I especially love her vlogs..she cracks me up everytime.
ANND she posted this recipe a while back that I am literally OBSESSED with. It’s called Ice Cream Bread and you only need 2 ingredients: ice cream and flour..yes, I am serious. That’s called genius, people.
Hi there. Fancy meeting you here on the ever so fabulous site..Cookies and Cups. Shelly was kind enough to ask me to do a guest post and I just couldn’t turn down the opportunity to make an appearance on her site. My name is Leslie Green and I write the food blog, The Hungry Housewife..feel free to stop by my blog and say HI when you get a chance.
Pineapple Upside-Down cake…doesn’t it just scream 1975 (well, that and dump cake)? I can remember my Mom making pineapple upside-down cake all the time. I am sure she made it from scratch, but I am lazy and have laundry up to my waist, so I am happy to take a short cut every once in a while, especially if the short cut provides delicious results. However, I am sure that if I poured melted brown sugar and butter over cardboard it would be delicious.
This is a super easy cake to throw together, pop in the oven and impress your guests with little effort.
I suggest using fresh pineapple slices if you can get your hands on them, however using canned is totally acceptable

Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you are not alone, doesn’t it? 
We always make it in a BIG ol' iron skillet..
Either way… its so good!
My Little Sister's Favorite Cake!
Love this cake!! My mom always made it and I haven't had a piece in sooo long. I'm putting this on my list for this Summer!!
Mmmm . . . my mom used to make this all the time when I was a kid. It is so pretty (and yummy).
I always use a cast iron skillet too but I love pineapple upside down cake so much I don't imagine it would matter what it's baked in for me. But I did think the other day that my next must have some bourbon…oh that crust, gooey business around the pineapples with a bit of bourbon. Yum.
Although I typically make cakes today from scratch, this recipe is almost spot on to the one I've used for years with a boxed mix, down to putting in some pineapple juice. Craving now. Thanks for reminding me; one of my favorite cakes ever!
I am so making this cake!
I am so making this cake!

well i WAS just thinking about making a key lime pie . . . however . . .
Oh my yummy!!! Looks so good, bet it tasted even better than it looked!
Leslie, this looks amazing! I just stumbled it
This looks so yummy! Great recipe!
I've never made a cake like this before but I've always wondered about it. Wonderful guest post!
I have made this cake many times and there are always aguments on the size of the pieces, so what I have recently done is bought a big cupcake pan, and made the cake into cupcakes, turns our great and there are no arguments over "she got a bigger piece of pineapple" or that one is bigger.
What a GREAT recipe! I love pineapple up-side down cake and this one is SO beautiful1 I’m headed to her site now…
I am forever indebted to you for this inofrmtoain.
