HENNESSY BUTTER PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). In 13x9-inch pan, melt butter in oven. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange pineapple slices on brown sugar. Place cherry in center of each pineapple slice, and arrange remaining cherries around slices; press gently into brown sugar.
• Add enough water to reserved pineapple juice to measure 1 cup. Make cake batter as directed on box, substituting pineapple juice mixture for the water. Pour batter over pineapple and cherries.
• Bake 42 to 48 minutes (44 to 53 minutes for dark or nonstick pan) or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately run knife around side of pan to loosen cake. Place heatproof serving plate upside down onto pan; turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over cake 5 minutes so brown sugar topping can drizzle over cake; remove pan. Cool 30 minutes. Serve warm or cool. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° and grease a bundt pan (generously) with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar, then pour mixture into bottom of bundt pan.  Place halved pineapple rings and cherries around the bottom of the pan, alternating between each.   In a large bowl, beat together cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, water, and eggs. Pour batter over pineapples and cherries. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 35 minutes.  Serve warm or at room temperature, slicing cake between pineapples.
