Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon light whipped butter or light buttery spread
1/4 cup brown sugar (not packed)
1/2 of an 18.25-ounce box (about 1 1/2 cups) moist-style yellow cake mix
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup club soda
1/4 cup no-sugar-added applesauce
7 pineapple rings packed in juice, drained
7 maraschino cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a round cake pan with nonstick spray (butter flavored, if available) and set it aside.
  • To make the glaze: Put butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 15 seconds, just until melted. Add brown sugar and mix well. Set aside.
  • To make the cake: Combine cake mix with baking powder in a large bowl. Mix well with a hand mixer. Add club soda and applesauce, and stir until smooth. Set aside.
  • Spread glaze evenly along the bottom of the cake pan. Blot pineapple rings and cherries with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Lay the pineapple rings in an even layer in the cake pan, and place one cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy pineapples: The quality of your pineapple sauce depends on the quality of your pineapples. Look for pineapples that are heavy for their size, have a golden-yellow color, and have a sweet, fragrant smell.
  • Use fresh pineapple chunks: Fresh pineapple chunks will give your sauce the best flavor and texture. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and rinse it before using.
  • Cook the sauce until it thickens: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, continue cooking it over low heat until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Add a touch of acidity: A little bit of lemon juice or vinegar can help to balance the sweetness of the sauce and give it a more complex flavor.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add a pinch of salt, sugar, or spices to taste. You can also add a dollop of butter or cream for a richer flavor.

Conclusion:

Pineapple sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. It's perfect for cakes, pies, and other desserts, but it can also be used as a glaze for grilled meats or fish, or as a dipping sauce for appetizers. With its bright, tropical flavor, pineapple sauce is sure to add a touch of sunshine to your next meal.
