Pineapple Upside-Down Cake image

From the Betty Crocker New Picture Cookbook given to me in 1967. I have cut down on the sugar from the original 1 cup and use canola or vegetable oil now instead of the shortening. For parties, multiply measurements by 1.5 (except use 2 eggs) and bake in a 9 x 13 inch pan.
