Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

2/3 cup butter

3/4 cup brown sugar

Place the butter and brown sugar in a frying pan and melt

until it boils or bubbles. A cast iron pan works well

because it's heavy and will be less likely to scorch.

1 can pineapple slices

maraschino cherries (enough to fill centers of pineapples)

Place pineapples in the butter and sugar mixture. Put

cherries in the center of the pineapple. Cut the slices of

pineapple into halves and line the sides of the frying pan

with them (standing up on edge).

Prepare a box of yellow cake mix following the directions on

the box to mix the batter (do not bake in a separate pan;

follow instructions below).

Pour the batter over the pineapple and cherries.

Bake at 350�F degrees. When the cake is done, loosen the

edges with a butter knife. Remove from heat and allow to

sit five minutes, then turn it upside down on a serving

dish.

Optional: Instead of using a cake mix, you can prepare the

batter from scratch using the recipe below, or any recipe

for yellow cake.

Scratch Cake:

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup milk

Combine ingredients and beat 1 minute. Pour batter over

pineapples and cherries (same as above). Bake at 350�F and

follow same steps as above.
