Pineapple Upside Down Cake

on

Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a Classic Southern Recipe that is a staple at most holidays or other gatherings. This easy recipe that uses a boxed cake mix is a family favorite and a cinch to make. The secret is using a pineapple cake mix and the juice from your drained pineapple to really amp up the flavor.

Here's what you will need to make the cake:

    Ingredients:
    • One Box of pineapple or yellow cake mix
    • Brown Sugar
    • Crushed Pineapple in juice
    • Maraschino cherries
    • Eggs
    • Oil
    • The reserved juice from the crushed pineapple
    Equipment:
    • Mixing bowl
    • Whisk or Mixer
    • Measuring cups
    • 9x13 baking dish, glass recommended
    • Bowl scrape or rubber spatula
    You may notice that butter isn't listed as one of the ingredients. My mother never used butter in the bottom layer because we always found that the leftover juice that clings to the pineapple is enough moisture.
