Pineapple upside down cake alteration I'm planning on baking a pineapple cake for my husband's birthday and the only recipes I find are for pineapple upside down cake. Can I use a pineapple upside down cake and just add the pineapple on top to the batter instead? Has anyone tried this before?
As Aaronut said, it'd definitely be best to just find a pineapple cake recipe.

But if you have a pineapple upside down cake recipe that you're really attached to, you could always just try it, presumably cutting the pineapple into smaller chunks. Depending on the batter, though, the pineapple may tend to either sink or float.
