Prepare Pan: Cut the butter into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the bottom of the oblong pan specified on the cake mix box. Sprinkle the dark brown sugar generously over the butter.
-
Heat Butter and Sugar: Place the pan on the stove or in the oven and heat slowly until the butter and sugar melt into a liquid. Once melted, remove the pan from the heat.
-
Arrange Pineapple Slices: Evenly space the pineapple slices around the bottom of the pan in the heated sugar and butter mixture.
-
Add Cherries and Nuts: Optional step: Place the maraschino cherries and walnut halves between the pineapple slices for added flavor and presentation.
-
Pour Cake Batter: Pour the prepared cake batter over the pineapple, cherry, and nut mixture in the pan, ensuring it covers the entire surface evenly.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake according to the instructions on the cake mix box until the cake is fully cooked.
-
Flip the Cake: Once the cake is done baking, immediately place a plate over the top of the cake pan. Carefully invert the pan to flip the cake upside down onto the plate. Slowly remove the pan from the cake.
-
Serve: Serve the Easy Pineapple Upside-Down Cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the delicious flavors of pineapple, cherries, and nuts in every bite!
Notes:
- Timing is Key: Be sure to flip the cake as soon as it’s done baking to prevent the sugar from hardening and making it difficult to remove from the pan.
