#300 - Easy Upsidedown Cake

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 - 20oz. can Dole pineapple slices
1/4 cup melted butter
2/3 cup Domino's dark brown sugar (packed)
1 jar maraschino cherries
1 - 18.25 box yellow or pineapple cake mix

Drain pineapple slices and save 3/4 cup of the juice for later. Stir together the melted butter and brown sugar in a bowl. Pour the brown sugar mixture in a 9 x 13 x 2 cake pan and smooth it out so bottom is covered with the brown sugar mixture. Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar and put a cherry inside the whole of each pineapple. In a mixer, prepare cake mix according to package directions EXCEPT replace 3/4 cup of the water called for in the cake mix directions with the 3/4 cup of pineapple juice you saved. Pour the cake batter evenly over top of all the pineapples in the cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. After removing from oven, let it cool 5 minutes. Loosen the edges with a knife, place a piece of foil over the top of the cake, then turn it upside down on top of heat proof cutting board.
