42 Shares

The shortcut? A yellow box cake mix! The result? A delicious upside down cake! I used fresh pineapple which enhanced the cake even more!

You’ll Need:

Ingredients

¼ cup butter
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1 yellow box cake mix, prepared according to box. I used 3 cups of this batter. Use the extra for cupcakes.
½ pineapple, sliced into chunks
maraschino cherries

Instructions

Melt the butter in a sauce pan.
Stir in the sugar until dissolved.
Pour into the bottom of a 10 inch greased loaf pan.
Top with pineapple chunks to cover the bottom and add cherries in the spaces.
Pour the 3 cups of cake batter evenly on top.
Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pan 20 minutes,
Run knife around edges and invert onto a rack.
Make sure the rack is over a sheet pan to catch any extra dripping sugar from the glaze.
Cool completely before cutting.
