Print Recipe Pin Recipe

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.
