Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

This cake reminds me of church bake sales. When I was a kid in upstate New York, I attended a Southern-ish Baptist church. It seemed that there was always one group or another raising funds for uniforms or a field trip. Each person trying to outdo the other with a secret family recipe. Bake sales were an early form of crowdfunding, and the rewards provided immediate gratification.
