I watched my Grandmother (who was a caterer) make this once and was never able to find a recipe any where else where it was made right in the pan, so awesome. Chantilly cream with rum on it is also good. I know that this is an old video, but my food wish is zucchini bread - back in 2001 I stayed at the Holiday Inn in San Fran for work and every day for 2 weeks I had it for breakfast from the buffet (because I was young and cheap - my per diem was so low - they let me just pay for the bread), so light and fluffy and almost white. I have never been able to find a comparable recipe, they are always so dense. Chocolate zucchini bread helps me get over it, but I wish I could find that other recipe.Cyber_3https://www.blogger.com/profile/07307511034056090263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-1984377989984224112018-03-09T05:23:09.420-05:002018-03-09T05:23:09.420-05:00I live in Thailand, where fresh pineapples are rea...I live in Thailand, where fresh pineapples are readily available all the time. I had some leftover pineapple and wanted to give the pineapple upside-down cake a try.<br /><br />Wow! It came out perfectly - far exceeding my expectations for trying it a first time.<br /><br />Chef John, if you see this post, I want you to know that I discovered Food Wishes only a couple months ago. I found you when I was looking for a Coquilles St-Jacques recipe.<br /><br />Ever since, now I make NOTHING without first checking if you have a recipe for it. I love your recipes and your presentation. I feel like "Julie and Julia" because I'm trying every one of your recipes.se83n59https://www.blogger.com/profile/05115054117586541089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-89158489067416833322017-07-06T19:12:16.911-04:002017-07-06T19:12:16.911-04:00Great recipe John, everyone liked it except for on...Great recipe John, everyone liked it except for one thing (mentioned all three times I made it, actually) which they thought it needed a thicker\less-crumbly cake bottom.
