- One (20 ounce) can pineapple slices in juice
- One box yellow cake mix, plus ingredients needed to prepare cake
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 10 maraschino cherries without the stems
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Drain the can of pineapple slices, reserving the juice.
-
Add enough water to the pineapple juice to make 1 cup; set aside.
-
Pour the melted butter into a 13×9-inch pan; sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter.
-
Arrange the pineapple slices over the brown sugar and place a cherry inside each pineapple ring; set aside.
-
Prepare the cake mix according to the box instructions, substituting the pineapple juice and water mixture in for the plain water.
-
Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple slices and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick pressed into the center of the cake comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
-
Let the cake set for 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving tray.
