Wow! I can’t wait to try this one. I just finished making two of your cheesecakes.
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.
Do you need 1 or 2 cans of crushed pineapple as both are listed in the recipe? I can’t wait to try this recipe
You will use two altogether. 1 (8oz) inside the batter and 1 ( 8oz.) at the bottom of the pan.
Wondering if anyone has tried this in a regular cake pan? Even 2 rounds? We moved & my bundt pan is still in the “missing” totes somewhere. Thank you
This cake was delicious!!!! My fiance’ and I loved it. I am going to make it again for school functions so that I have safe options. Thank you for this website. I have tried three of your recipes so far and they have been wonderful. I am an average cook but have so far been able to excel with your help. My honey is happy and we are both losing weight!!! Whoop.

I have tried quite a few of your recipes and I am always pleased with how easily they come together and how great they taste. This is the first dessert I’ve tried, and it’s a big hit! My boyfriend loves pineapple upside down cake and we’re both on WW, so he’s ecstatic. Thank you so much!
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.
Hi Elizabeth, you’re so very welcome! I am thrilled to hear it was a it for your husbands birthday cake. I hope he had a wonderful birthday! Thank you so much for your awesome review!!
I was looking for a WW friendly Pineapple cake and came straight to you! This looks so easy and delish! Thank you for all you do for us. I started following you on IG and honestly, you are my favorite. All of your hard work is worth it, at least to me.

I LOVE that I get to do what I LOVE doing-and that is loose weight and help others find the same success!
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!
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!
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?
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.
I’m 3 weeks in to Weight Watchers and I needed a treat. Made this tonight and it was delicious! So easy too! Thank you! I look forward to trying more,recipes from your site.
This was so good I was craving pineapple upside down cake and was so happy to find this recipe.
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 !
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.
Yes. You will want to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Thanks so much
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?
Hi,
You can omit the cherries altogether or or substitute them for fresh raspberries if you still want a pop of color.
Thanks so much
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?
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,
I just scanned the barcode and its coming up as 4 points for the package. Thats strange.
I was able to change it & it changed to 3 SP! Thank you.
Oh…. & it was DELICIOUS!
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!
