I love pineapple upside-down cake. I also love anything that has caramel or toffee in it. So when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it :) The toffee topping adds great flavor to this traditional cake.
I don't have the 2-cup baking dishes, so I just make one big cake instead, using a 9x9" pan. Sometimes I will just omit the maraschino cherries (but still use the pineapple rings), other times I just use a can of crushed pineapple instead.

What I love about this cake is that it always comes out super moist. The rum adds a nice subtle flavor to it as well.
