  2. I am just a little bit in love with this. Now all Better Crocker needs to do is come up with a GF sugar free cake mix and I would be all set. I will happily settle for the amazing cheesecakes. I am addicted to them.

  6. Thank you so much for coming up with this recipe!!! My husband and I joined WW 1 month ago and he was wondering if he could somehow have pineapple upside down cake for his birthday cake. I knew someone had to have done this with a sugar free cake mix and it was you! Can’t wait to make it for him.

  8. Is the sugar frer cake mixes higher in points than a regular cake mix? Does the higher sugar alcohols & carbs make the points value higher?
    Thanks!

    Reply

    • The Sugar Free Cake Mix lower in points than the regular cake mix. The sugar free Pillsbury Yellow Cake mix is 39 points for the entire package. The regular Pillsbury Yellow Cake Mix is 74 points. So there is a quite a bit of difference.

      Thank you!

  9. This sounds so good but when I put your nutritional information into the WW app it comes up to 7 Freestyle smart points per serving. You say that it is 3 Freestyle smart points. I’m so confused?

    Reply

    • I order for the points to be accurate you will need to enter the ingredients into the ww app recipe builder rather than using the nutritional information because this recipe contains zero point foods- also, be sure to change the servings to equal the amount of servings in the recipe.

  12. Hi!! I just baked a skinny pineapple upside down cake and obviously it looks beautiful. I can’t wait to try it, thank you so much for your interesting recipes, which allows me to give a twist to the art of baking and cooking !

  13. If you’re not eating it the day you make it, should you refrigerate it? I’m super excited to try it, but don’t want to mess it up, as I plan to take it to a party.

  14. I am not a lover of maraschino cherries. Is there something that could be substituted, or could I just leave them out. I will lose that pop of color but that is ok with me. What about some regular cherries?

    Reply

  15. Hi!

    I just inputted the information on WW & im getting that it’s 1 smart point. Is that correct or am I doing something incorrect?

    Reply

    • Hi

      So the whole package of the sugar free cake mix is 47 points. It makes 16 servings-so that comes out to 3 points per serving.

      Sometimes the ww app will default to one serving-you will need to change it to 1 package.
      Would that be the reason?

      Thanks so much,

  17. Oh.My! This is the happiest cake I’ve ever seen!!!! ‘WOW’ doesn’t even do it justice. My 11 year old daughter was sitting next to me while I was reading the post and then said “WOW” as soon as she saw the first picture, and then when I scrolled down to cut cake, she was like “WHOOOOAAAA! This is unbelievable!” I love the upside down thing can’t wait to play around with the idea for my kids’ birthdays coming up in August.

    • Hi Mary!

      YAY!! That is so awesome to hear!! That makes me so happy to hear that. My kids LOOOOVE this one as well. I hope you and your little 11 year old enjoy every bite!

      Thank you!
