Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 (20 oz) can pineapple rings in juice
  • 10 to 12 maraschino cherries

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in a 9-inch skillet, stir in brown sugar, and spread. Arrange pineapple rings and cherries.
  2. Mix cake mix, eggs, oil, and pineapple juice in a bowl until smooth.
  3. Pour batter gently over the pineapple, spreading to cover completely.
  4. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
  5. Cool 10 minutes, run a knife around the edges, invert onto a plate, and serve warm.

Notes

If using a cake pan, line the bottom with parchment for extra insurance. The cake is best the day it’s made, but leftovers keep well.
