Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

[Dee]

We love pineapple around here so I make this every once in a while.

 

 

2/3 cup packed light brown sugar

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted

1 can (20 ounces) pineapple slices, drained

10 maraschino cherries

1 package (18.25 ounces) yellow cake mix

1 cup water

1/4 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.

 

2. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bottom of two 8-inch round cake pans and pour the butter evenly over the sugar.

 

3. In each pan, arrange the pineapple slices in a single layer over the sugar and place a cherry in the center of each slice.

 

4. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs; beat until well combined.

 

5. Evenly divide the batter between the two pans and bake for 30 to 33 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of each comes out clean. Let the cakes stand for 5 minutes.

 

6. Loosen gently with a knife and invert onto 2 platters. Serve warm, or allow to cool completely before serving.

DH's favorite...He's not supposed to eat many sweets but maybe I'll cut it in half and freeze the rest for later. Of course, I can't have any sweets...well maybe I'll lick the knife when I cut it in half .LOL
