Iron Skillet Pineapple Upside-Down Cake image

My boyfriend loves pineapple upside down cake and any dish that involves the iron skillet, and I am the famed cake baker in the family. That is how this cake and I introduced ourselves to one another. I am not a fan of cakes without yummy frosting or chunks of fruit. Until I put this recipe together and am in love with the cake including the pineapples! I used a 10 inch iron skillet to bake this.
