Easy Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipe

 

Ingredients

1 box Yellow Cake Mix
3 eggs (or however many the cake mix calls for)
1/3 cup oil (or however much your cake mix calls for)
1 1/3 cups water (or however much your cake mix says)
1/4 to 1/2 cup cups butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 20 ounce can sliced pineapple
1 8 ounce jar maraschino cherries (optional)

Preparation

1. Follow instructions on the cake mix to make an oblong cake

2. Prepare cake batter. Set aside.

3. Cut butter up into small pieces and place all over the bottom of the cake pan as specified on the cake box.

4. Sprinkle brown sugar over the butter.

5. Place pan in the oven (or on the stove) and heat slowly until butter and sugar melt. Once melted remove from oven (or stove, if you're using the stove).

6. Evenly distribute the pineapple slices across the melted butter and sugar on the bottom of the pan.

7. Place the cherries in the center of the pineapple slices (if you're using cherries as well).

8. Pour the cake mix overtop of the pineapples/cherries, covering them completely.

9. Place in oven and bake as directed on the cake box.

10. Once the cake is finished baking, remove from oven. Place a plate overtop of the cake and flip upside down, carefully removing the pan from the cake. (It's important to do this step right away or the sugar will harden and it will be hard to remove the cake from the pan).

11. Enjoy!
