Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions
PINEAPPLE – Though we use canned pineapple rings, you can certainly substitute for freshly sliced pineapple rings instead. You may also use pineapple tidbits or crushed pineapple if you prefer.
CAKE – You’ll need one boxed cake mix in either yellow or white, PLUS the ingredients on the back of the box (besides the water, we’re replacing that with some of the juice from the canned pineapple). However, if you’d like to use a homemade batter, go right ahead! See our pineapple upside down cake recipe for a great batter substitute.
