This is a super delicious and super Easy Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. Wonderful, light, flavorful, large and easy to make. The topping bakes right into the cake and makes for a very flavorful dessert.
It’s an easy pineapple upside-down cake because it uses a yellow cake mix. The butter/sugar mix makes the cake so delightfully moist, I just can’t even explain.
Great results with no complaints in my house and no cake left either.
A keeper for sure! Give it a try.

Easy Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Ingredients
1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
3 eggs (or as called for by your cake mix)
1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 1/3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/4-1/2 cup butter
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices
1 (8 ounce) jar maraschino cherries (optional)
walnut halves (optional)
Directions
Follow the instructions on the cake box for making an oblong single layer cake. Prepare the cake batter and set aside.
Cut up the butter in small pieces and place all over the bottom of the oblong pan specified on cake box. Sprinkle the brown sugar generously over the butter.
Place the pan on the stove (or in the oven) and heat slowly until butter and sugar melt to a liquid and then remove from the heat.
Evenly space the pineapple slices around the bottom of the pan in the heated sugar and butter.
Place the cherries and nuts between the pineapple slices (Though the cherries and nuts look nice and taste great, they are optional).
Pour the cake batter on top of the pineapple/cherry/nut mixture. Place in the oven and bake as directed on the cake box.
As soon as the cake is done place a plate over the cake and turn upside down and carefully remove the pan.
If you wait too long the sugar will harden and be difficult to remove.
