Howdy! Any advice on why my pineapple upside-down cake turned out dry . I followed a recipe, but it ended up lacking moisture. Maybe too much time in the oven? Any baking experts out there with tips on keeping it moist and delicious? Appreciate any insights!

Hey there! Bummer about the dry cake! It happens to the best of us ..A couple things might be the culprit One, maybe it baked a tad too long? Keeping an eye on it with a toothpick a few minutes early can help Two, the batter itself could be a bit dry. Don't be afraid to add a splash of milk or juice next time to keep things moist! Happy baking!

Have you considered using pineapple juice or syrup to soak the cake layers? I think that could add extra flavor and moisture.

Oh no, a dry pineapple upside-down cake is a real bummer! It could definitely be from baking too long—those extra minutes can zap the moisture fast. Try checking it a few minutes early next time, and maybe add a little more butter or brown sugar to the topping for extra moisture. Also, using sour cream or an extra egg in the batter can help keep it soft and rich. Hope your next one turns out perfectly!
