This Pineapple Upside Down Cake Using Cake Mix is a scrumptious cake, decorated with a layer of juicy pineapple slices and sweet maraschino cherries. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup salted butter melted
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 24 oz. can of pineapple rings/slices
- 13 maraschino cherries
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup pineapple juice reserved from the can of pineapple slices
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 10" cast iron skillet or round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray or grease with butter.
- Stir together melted butter and brown sugar and spread in the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Arrange pineapple slices, maraschino cherries in the bottom of the pan over the brown sugar mixture. (Do not discard the juice from the can of pineapple slices - it will be used in the cake batter.)
- For the cake batter, beat the dry cake mix, eggs, oil, sour cream, and 1 cup of pineapple juice. Supplement with water to make 1 cup of liquid if there is not enough pineapple juice reserved.
- Spread cake batter into the prepared pan being careful to keep the pineapple slices and cherries in place.
- Bake approximately 30 minutes or until the cake is cooked through. You may be able to see the caramelization developed on the pineapple slices visible along the side of the pan.
- Allow cake to cool for a few minutes before flipping the pan over onto a plate or cake stand.
- Slice and serve.
