Notes:
As elders say everything has to start on a sweet note.So here is my first post with a sweet note...i mean a sweet recipe Pineapple upside-down cake.I am a bit of a health freak so my first recipe is definitely a dessert but a healthy one.
This one i tried from http://www.marthastewart.com/ - a light pineapple upside down cake but with made a little bit of changes by making it eggless and reduced the quantity of plain flour.The cake came out perfectly.It was a healthy treat and a sure keeper.

Method:
