Thank you Paula Deen for this heavenly tasting but horribly fattening recipe! Had to take a dessert to our church lifegroup potluck and saw Paula make this on her show and just couldn't resist. Your typical pineapple upside down cake - except the double layer version (stacked on top of each other) and then just for added sweetness some pineapple buttercream icing around the sides! Ahhh! I won't tell you how many sticks of butter are in this whole recipe. It was delicious, but definitely a diet killer!

40 is the new 20
