You know, those recipes written on cardboard, or school notebooks, with tons of annotations in the margins? One day you stumble upon one in a drawer, and good old family memories start to flow into your mind… This pineapple upside down cake is one of these heartwarming recipes – certainly my grandpa’s favorite. So, are you up to it? This recipe is quite easy and I hope you’ll enjoy making it — and eating it — as much as I did. Treat yourself and your loved ones with a sweet moment for good memories!
