  • The Best Pineapple Upside Down Cake with Claire Saffitz (New Book Reveal)
    Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a an oldie but a goodie, and with just a few upgrades - like adding browned butter to the cake, swapping in fresh pineapple for canned, and perfuming the whole thing with good dark rum - it becomes a remarkably delicious and complex dessert. It looks impressive but comes together in one skillet. Check out this episode for Claire’s take on the classic as well as SNEAK PEAK AT WHAT’S FOR DESSERT, Claire’s new book due out Nov. 8th (and available for pre-order here: geni.us/WjcIbfp

Now I wish I hadn't because now I have to *share* this cake, which I could for sure eat all by myself before it goes stale. One of the best cakes I've ever eaten in my life!

    Okay I know there's a delay between filming and release and you probably have everything really planned out in advance BUT if you guys could make an episode for the tomato and feta tart from Dessert Person while we're still in peak tomato season, that would be amazing!!! I'll probably make it anyway but I love having the videos to hold my hand through the process. It feels like doing a fun homework assignment somehow? Like I get to read the recipe and watch the video a bunch of times to prepare myself and then I get to try it and see how I do. So excited to have a new book full of recipes to try soon!

    My mom's favorite cake is pineapple upside down. Every time she has ever made it (and she makes it how her mom made it), part of the liquid is pineapple juice and it is made in cast iron. She cooks the pineapple and sugar mixture on the stove top and pours the batter in while it is still hot on the stove! It is absolutely the best. The cake is light and airy and full of pineapple flavor. So although this one looks good, because pineapple upside down cake is always good, I don't think it could beat my mom's (and mommaw's) recipe! Sorry, Claire! Still love ya! 😉💕
