Ingredients

Directions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Pour melted butter into a 10-inch round cake pan or cast-iron skillet.

Step 3: Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the butter.

Step 4: Slice fresh pineapple into rings and arrange in a single layer over the brown sugar.

Step 5: Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.

Step 6: Prepare cake mix according to package directions with eggs, oil, and water.

Step 7: Pour batter carefully over the pineapple arrangement.

Step 8: Bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 9: Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.

Step 10: Serve warm or at room temperature.

Chef's Tip: Let the cake cool in the pan for exactly 5 minutes — too long and the topping will stick.
