My cake is in the oven baking right now! I used a 9x13 glass dish and I went through a lot of these comments and used a few of the suggestions such as substituting the water for the pineapple juice and a little bit of cherry juice. It made the batter a nice pink color. This is my first time ever making a pineapple upside down cake and I really hope it turns out well. It sure has made my house smell great. Can't wait to taste it. Thanks for all of the great suggestions on here....very helpful. :)

Shorty, the previous recipe for this cake was without pudding and was made in a 9x13 cake pan. I made it yesterday in the 9x13 and it came out great, but I reduced the time to 45 minutes since the cake is not as thick. You also end up with being able to use 8 pineapple slices rather and 5 as the picture shows. As for the pudding, I believe the original version of the recipe called for using the standard recipe on the box for the cake. I was planning to use pudding mix o add more body to the cake. I'd recommend using it. Yesterday was the first time I used it and this may be the best pineapple upside down cake I've made.

Can the pineapple supreme cake mix be made in a 9 by 13 in cake pan and with out the pudding mix?

I made mine in a 9x13 pan and just made the cake batter by the directions on the back of the box and it turned out fine. I think the pudding just makes the cake more dense so it stand up to the fruit and gooey stuff. But, the answer is yes. You can make it in that pan and just use the directions on the back of the cake mix box. :-) Hope this helps...

I have a metal 9" pan (approx 2 1/2" deep) specifically made for pineapple upside down cake but not sure how to adjust the recipe. Any suggestions?

I made this for a potluck at work and everyone loved it! I made a few changes. I used 3 eggs instead of 4, 1/2 cup sour cream, 3/4 cup of pineapple juice and 1/4 cup of Malibu rum. I also added pecans to top. The cake was moist and tender.

I'm going to try this using rum for the water, and butter for the oil. Maybe pecans too. Can't wait..........

I made this cake in miniture cake pans. So cute. I melted the butter in the microwave and stirred in the brown sugar and added a little over 1 tablespoon to the bottom of the little pans.. very good and cute.
