Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices
10 maraschino cherries
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package pineapple cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven according to instructions on cake mix.
  • Melt the butter over medium high heat in the iron skillet. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly to cover the butter.
  • Next, arrange pineapple rings around the bottom of the pan, one layer deep. Place a maraschino cherry into the center of each pineapple ring.
  • Prepare the cake mix by mixing the mix, water, oil and eggs together, substitute some of the pineapple juice for some of the liquid in the directions. (NOTE: make sure to check the back of the cake mix box, you want to prepare the cake per the instructions on the back and it may vary depending on the type of mix you get).
  • Pour the batter over the pineapple layer in dutch oven.
  • Bake as directed by the cake mix directions. Note: You may have to cook it for longer - test the middle with a clean knife, this really varies - sometimes even doubling the cooking time.
  • Cool for 10 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a plate.
  • NOTE: Do not let the cake cool too much or it will be stuck to the pan.

Can you imagine a world without pineapple upside-down cake? Neither can we! And this recipe is by far the greatest of all time. Brown sugar and butter create a rich, caramel glaze that coats juicy pineapple rings, maraschino cherries and a golden-brown cake-what's not to love? But the true secret to this cake's beauty is in the "flip" that happens when you remove it from the oven. It might sound intimidating, but it's so much easier than you think! The result is a picture-perfect upside-down pineapple cake made from scratch.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
9 slices pineapple in juice (from 20-oz can), drained
9 maraschino cherries without stems, if desired
1 1/3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

  • Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately place heatproof serving plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over.

Tips:

  • Make sure your Dutch oven is well-seasoned before using it to bake the pineapple upside-down cake. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Don't overbake the cake, or it will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool for a few minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help to prevent the cake from breaking.

Conclusion:

Pineapple upside-down cake is a classic dessert that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're making it for a potluck, a family gathering, or just a weeknight treat, this cake is sure to be a hit.
