Pineapple Upside Down Cake for Jean's Birthday

this is one of those recipes that works no matter how bad a baker you think you are.


ingredients:
1 box of yellow cake mix
2 cans of pineapple slices in juice --can also use pineapple chunks.
1/2-3/4 cups of brown sugar
1/2 stick of butter
jarred cherries-optional

1. mix cake batter BUT substitute pineapple juice from the can for the water
2. melt butter and pour into the bottom of a flat cake pan (9X13 works best)
3. sprinkle brown sugar over the butter
4. place pineapple slices on top of butter/sugar mixture. Line them up until the pan bottom is completely covered (takes a little over 1 can)
optional step: place cherries in the center holes of each pineapple
5. pour batter on top of pineapples
6. bake as suggested by cake box directions
7. allow cake to cool and then flip it out of pan for show Or just slice it and flip each peice individually
Either way it's very yummy!!!! enjoy

Happy birthday, Jean! love, Sekile
