Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use a can of crushed pineapple, not diced or sliced, for the best texture.
• If you don't have a 9x13-inch pan, you can use an 8x11-inch pan or a 10-inch round pan. Adjust the baking time accordingly.
• Let the cake cool for a few minutes before inverting to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
