Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

== Description ==
Contributed by CM at World Recipes Y-Group
== Ingredients ==
* 1 yellow cake mix or make your own from scratch
* ⅔ cup butter
* ¾ cup brown sugar
* 1 can pineapple slices
* maraschino cherries (enough to fill centers of pineapples)
=== Scratch cake ===
* 1 cup flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* ½ teaspoon salt
* 2 eggs
* ⅔ cup sugar
* ¼ cup milk
== Directions ==
# 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.
# 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), or if making a scratch cake, combine the cake ingredients and beat 1 minute.
# Pour the batter over the pineapple and cherries.
# Bake at 350°F.
# 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.
