Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure an even bake.
- Melt the Butter: Place the bundt pan in the oven with the butter inside until it melts completely, creating a rich base for your cake.
- Prepare the Pan: Once melted, carefully remove the pan and spray cooking spray on the sections not covered by the melted butter, ensuring easy release later.
- Add Brown Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar over the melted butter, allowing it to create a sweet caramelized layer.
- Arrange Cherries: Position the maraschino cherries over the brown sugar, adding a pop of color and flavor.
- Layer Pineapple: Spread the crushed pineapple over the cherries and sugar, ensuring an even distribution.
- Prepare Cake Mix: In a separate bowl, mix the cake ingredients according to the package directions, paying attention to the recommended mixer speeds and times.
- Combine: Gently pour the prepared cake batter over the pineapple mixture in the bundt pan.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife or toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Invert the Cake: As soon as the cake is done, carefully invert it onto a serving platter, removing the pan slowly to avoid leaving any delicious topping behind.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
