Pineapple Upside Down Cake (Doctored Up From A Box/Quick And Easy) Recipe by Carolyn
Pineapple Upside Down Cake (Doctored up from a box/quick and easy) Cooking Instructions 1 hour 1 Preheat oven to 325 for dark coated pans, 350 for metal and glass pans 2 In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat. 3 Add brown sugar to melted butter, stir until mostly dissolved 4 Pour into a greased springform pan (that is placed on a baking sheet) I prefer springform vs bundt cake pans, just a preference. You can use whatever baking vessel you like. Baking times will vary, I'll add a picture of the back of the box for reference 5 Now, drain the can of pineapple slices, SAVING THE JUICE! This is key. You will use the juice in place of water needed in the batter. 6 Place rings on top of brown sugar and butter mixture. Add a dabbed dry maraschino cherry to the middle of each ring. Dabbing helps keep the red juice from extra staining to the cake and the rings. 7 Now, add the 1 cup reserved pineapple juice, the oil and eggs to the cake mix. Beat at low speed for 2 minutes, pour batter over the rings. 8 Note: if you do not have enough juice to make 1 cup, simply add water to the juice until you reach the 1 cup mark. 9 Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. 10 Run a knife between the cake and pan so make sure it's loosened before flipping. Let cake cool for about 5 minutes before flipping. This insures the topping won't run off, but will still release from pan without difficulty. 11 For easy flipping: place the platter on top of the pan. Firmly hold the platter against pan and invert quickly. It can be scary, but just try to stay calm! :) 12 Now let cool about 20 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy! 13 Bake times/vessel(s) 1 Preheat oven to 325 for dark coated pans, 350 for metal and glass pans 1 Preheat oven to 325 for dark coated pans, 350 for metal and glass pans 2 In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat. 2 In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat. 3 Add brown sugar to melted butter, stir until mostly dissolved 3 Add brown sugar to melted butter, stir until mostly dissolved 4 Pour into a greased springform pan (that is placed on a baking sheet) I prefer springform vs bundt cake pans, just a preference.
