bestest cake ever!

Ok, maybe not ever but this was a pretty good tasting cake... My roommate asked if I wanted to bake a cake for her work - September birthday people. Crazy thing is my other roommate's mother works at the same place and this month is her birthday. Anyway, she really enjoys pineapple upside down cake. I had a really good recipe too but somehow, it got misplaced in the move. I ended up having to search out a new one and I'm usually quite leery of new recipes - I like to try the recipe out before I present someone with a cake that way I can change the recipe if need be (and they don't ever get a horrid cake. How embarrassing!) Anyway, I ended up making it and it's actually one of the ugliest cakes I've ever made. I was really disappointed... but the flavor really makes up for it - makes you wanna cry it's so good. hehehe. I'm sure my roommates think I'm an alcoholic since I cook with a lot of it and even put some rum in this cake.

Meanwhile, this is finals week.
