Ingredients
  

  • cooking spray for pan
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 slices pineapple halved
  • 8 maraschino cherries stems removed

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease a bundt pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar, then pour the mixture into the bottom of the bundt pan.
  2. Arrange halved pineapple rings and cherries around the bottom of the pan, alternating them.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, water, and eggs. Pour the batter over the pineapples and cherries. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, slide a knife or small offset spatula around the edges and center to release the cake. Invert the cake onto a serving tray.
  5. Serve warm or at room temperature, slicing the cake between the pineapples.

Notes

Ingredient Variation: I've had times when I didn't have pineapple rings, and using tidbits or even fresh pineapple cut into chunks works beautifully, though fresh can sometimes be a bit tangier
