I love cake, who doesn’t love cake! I also love this slimming world pineapple upside down cake! It took me forever to make this cake because I wanted to make sure it was a low syn cake so that everyone can enjoy it, I did it!
One of the things that I hate about following any plan is that you can’t eat what you always want. That being said, Slimming World is totally different. As long as you can find a great low syn recipe you can enjoy as much as you want and that’s why I made this low syn pineapple upside down cake.
I mean if you’re looking for the perfect slimming world cake recipe, I think you may have just found a contender! I’m not saying it’s the best slimming world cake you’ll ever taste but it tastes amazing. I thought it was going to be really difficult to make but in fact, it wasn’t.
Now one thing I will say is that when you’re making this slimming world upside down cake you need to make sure you drain the pineapple if they were stored in syrup or juice otherwise the cake won’t work as well as you’d like, trust me.
The Best Slimming World Pudding Recipe
Like I’ve said, this upside down cake recipe is to die for. I’ve made it a few times now and feel like I’ve finally perfected it and due to the fact that it’s low syn makes it even better in my opinion! You can probably also find better pineapple if you wanted but I love using the Opies Pineapple in Rum because the flavour is so much better!
Now one thing I will say, is this isn’t going to be a low syn pineapple upside down cake if you eat it all. I found that out the hard way!
