Ingredients

Scale

  • 7 slices pineapple slices (canned, drained)
  • 7 maraschino cherries
  • 1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix
  • 3 eggs (large)
  • 0 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pour melted butter into the bottom of a baking pan and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar.
  3. Arrange pineapple slices over the sugar mixture and place a cherry in the center of each slice.
  4. Prepare cake mix according to package directions using eggs, oil, and water.
  5. Carefully pour batter over the pineapple layer and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
