Reba McEntire Has The Perfect Cake Recipe To Wow The Crowd This Easter
Reba McEntire is more than just a fantastic singer, actress, and vocal coach. The fiery redhead is also a fantastic cook. For Reba, it was important for her to keep her family’s favorite recipes alive, so she published them all in her cookbook, Not That Fancy. The book has some of Reba McEntire’s all-time favorite foods, from pineapple upside-down cake to savory dinners. Audible asked Reba to choose her favorite of the 50 recipes in the book, but it was too hard.
“Oh, now that’s not fair. I mean, because I love Mama’s pineapple upside-down cake. I love Katie’s brisket. I love Rex’s smoked-chicken beer-can tacos. So good. All my friends, my family, I’d say, ‘Hey, can I use your recipe?’ And they’d say, ‘Oh, yeah,’ and they’d get it right to me. Cookies, all kinds of desserts. My daughter-in-law Marissa, her banana pudding recipe,” she said.

Reba McEntire Shared The Trick To A Perfect Pineapple Upside Down Cake
According to NBC, in the book, Reba McEntire explains how her late mother made the pineapple upside-down cake just right.
“Instead of making it in a baking dish, she would use her cast-iron skillet,” Reba wrote in Not That Fancy. “As a kid, I thought this was the height of fancy cooking!”
Reba McEntire told Audible it wasn’t just her momma’s pineapple upside-down cake that made her special. Reba called her “interesting and funny.”
She explained, “When she got married, she was also a schoolteacher. She had her first child in her young 20s. And every two years, she had another child. And she didn’t have a dishwasher. She didn’t have a microwave. She didn’t have a washing machine in the back room. She had it out in the yard, and it was a wringer washer. So, it was once a week she would do the laundry and pray for good weather because she had to hang everything out on the line.”
