Many happy memories here. But have noticed that contemporary bakers don't seem to brown the bottoms of these cakes the way our mothers did. The entire surface of the pineapples or other fruits used to be caramelized and a bit crispy, not just the edges as in the picture here. Going by the memory of my friends' mothers' upside-down cakes, not just my own mom's. Remember because it was the best part!
