    Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

    <p>Scour the internet and you’ll find that many food bloggers associate pineapple upside-down cake with the 50s and 60s, but the recipe <a href="http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodcakes.html#pineapple" target="_blank">dates back to at least the 1930s</a>, if not earlier. Perhaps it’s associated with mid-century fare because of <a href="http://www.wired.com/2014/07/the-bizarre-rise-and-fall-of-the-tiki-bar-in-american-culture/" target="_blank">tiki culture</a>, which peaked in the mid-1900s.
