1 cup packed brown sugar

Steps:

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple provides the best flavor and texture for this cake. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting: Cream cheese frosting is a classic pairing for pineapple cake. It's rich and tangy, and it complements the sweet pineapple flavor perfectly.
  • Decorate the cake with fresh pineapple slices: This is a simple but elegant way to finish off the cake.

Conclusion:

Pineapple sheet cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's moist and flavorful, with a sweet pineapple filling and a rich cream cheese frosting. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this cake at home in no time. So next time you're looking for a dessert to impress your friends and family, give pineapple sheet cake a try.
