Need a new cake idea with all natural, wholesome ingredients?  We never feel guilty eating this way.

This was my first all natural (not from a box) upside down pineapple cake and it was big success!

Very simple:  fresh flour, natural sugar, real butter and coconut oil, etc.  We loved it and intend to serve it again and again!
