Classic Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 (20 ounce) can DOLE® Pineapple Slices
• 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
• 8 maraschino cherries
• 1 (9 ounce) package yellow cake mix
• 0.5 cup cold water
• 1 large egg

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray. Get all your ingredients ready for baking.
2. Drain the pineapple slices thoroughly and set them aside for later use.
3. In your prepared cake pan, combine the brown sugar and melted butter, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Arrange the pineapple slices in a single layer over the brown sugar mixture. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice and one in the center of the pan for decoration.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, cold water, and eggs. Use an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed and beat for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Carefully pour the cake batter evenly over the arranged pineapple and cherries in the pan.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes after baking.
7. Gently loosen the edges of the cake and invert it onto a serving platter to display the beautiful pineapple topping.
