easy pineapple upside down cake

Bake a pineapple upside down cake the easy way, and no one will know that you made it with shortcuts.

This cake is made with a yellow cake mix, so you can make it in a hurry with little mess.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

yellow cake mix
eggs, margarine as shown on the box
large can of pineapple
brown sugar
margarine

Step 1

Set the oven to about 350 degrees. Make the cake mix first by the recipe on the box. Put margarine in deep large mixing bowl and put it on 20 seconds in the microwave to soften. Add eggs. If recipe calls for water, use pineapple juice instead.
Step 2

Put a stick of margarine in the pan you plan to use for the cake. Put this pan in the oven or microwave just long enough to melt the margarine. Remove the pan from the heat and set it where you can work with it.
Step 3

Add about 3/4 cup brown sugar and stir until mixed with the margarine. Lay the pineapple rings in the cake pan onto the brown sugar and margarine combination. Add maraschino cherries to the center of each pineapple if you choose.
Step 4

Pour the cake mix over the pineapple. Bake as directed on the cake mix package. When the cake is done (stick with a toothpick until it comes out clean) let it sit 15 minutes before turning it upside down.
