RECIPE FOR PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE USING CAKE MIX 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 the oven to 350F.
• Pour melted butter in a non-stick 9x13 baking pan and distribute evenly so the bottom of the pan is coated with butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the melted butter. Add the pineapple chunks to the pan and distribute them in an even layer.
• Put flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl and mix with a spoon to combine.
• Add oil, mil, eggs and vanilla to the flour mixture. Mix all the ingredient thoroughly until smooth (you can mix by hand with a spoon or with an electric mixer).
• Pour the batter evenly into the pan over the pineapple layer.
• Put the pineapple cake in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
• Remove the cake for the oven and run a knife around the sides of the pan to make sure the cake sides are separated from the pan.
• Put a large platter or baking sheet over the cake pan and quickly flip the cake over. Carefully lift the baking pan off the inverted cake.
• Pineapple upside-down cake can be served warm or at room temperature.
