Pineapple Upside Down Cake 

This Pineapple Upside Down Cake makes the perfect dessert for Easter! My mom and I made this childhood favorite cake a little bit healthier than many of the original recipes we grew up eating. This homemade cake is simple to whip up and uses everyday ingredients that can be found in the pantry. The raspberries can be replaced with cherries or blueberries. We used monk fruit sweetener to lower the sugar and carb content. If you don’t have any at home, any sugar will work.
