Special Precautions and Tips: - Be sure to grease and flour the cake pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. - If you don't have canned pineapple slices, you can use fresh pineapple slices. Just be sure to pat them dry before arranging them in the pan. - For a more intense pineapple flavor, you can use crushed pineapple in the topping instead of slices. - To prevent the cake from overcooking, check it with a toothpick after 35 minutes. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. - Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help prevent the topping from falling off.
