Get ready for a delicious pineapple upside-down cake - a moist, fluffy cake with pineapple slices, cherries, and caramelized fruit topping. This simple yet impressive recipe is perfect for any occasion, easy enough for weeknights and elegant enough for special gatherings. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert any time of the year!
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices in juice, drained, juice reserved
  • 1 jar (6 oz) maraschino cherries without stems, drained (about 18 cherries)
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
  • Vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Melt butter in a 13x9-inch pan in the oven. Evenly sprinkle brown sugar over the melted butter. Arrange pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice and distribute the remaining cherries around the slices, gently pressing them into the brown sugar.
  • Combine reserved pineapple juice with water to make 1 cup. Follow cake mix instructions, swapping the pineapple juice mixture for water. Pour batter over pineapple and cherries.
  • Bake for 40 to 46 minutes (44 to 53 minutes for a dark or nonstick pan) until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Run a knife around the side of the pan to loosen the cake, then place a heatproof serving plate upside down onto the pan and carefully flip it over. Let the pan sit on top of the cake for 5 minutes to allow the brown sugar topping to drizzle over it, then remove the pan. Allow the cake to cool for 30 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature. For storage, cover and refrigerate.
