Pineapple upside-down cake

This quick pineapple upside-down cake is one of your favorite go-to recipes.

Please note:

I added a little crushed pineapple to the areas between the pineapple rings.
I like to place 1/8 cup of crushed pineapple into the cake batter after squeezing out all the moisture.
To ensure the pineapple upside-down cake toppings stay on when you turn it out of the pan I cut a circle of parchment paper to line the bottom of as my first step.
