Pineapple Upside-Down Cake



This is a really yummy dish. And not really hard to do.
As in all baking, stick to the recipe. You won't regret it.

Ingredients:
~I box yellow cake mix (Georgeann has found Duncan Hines turns out the best)
~1/8th cup pineapple juice with one can sliced pineapple.
~Sixteen Maraschino cherries with 1/8th cup of Maraschino cherry juice.
~Three eggs (size is not important)
~1/8th cup water.
~1/3rd cup cooking oil.
~1/2 cup brown sugar.
Prep:
Preheat the oven to 350F/176.66C.  Grease a 9" x 13" / 23 x 33CM non-stick cake pan

1.) Mix eggs, oil, water, and cake mix along with the pineapple juice, and Maraschino cherry juice.
2.) The ingredients say water, but at your choice, you can replace the water with rum for that extra zing!
3.) Using a mixer, combine these ingredients until smooth.
4.) Arrange the pineapple rings on the bottom of the cake pan. Put the cherries in the center of each ring.
5.) Cover fruit with brown sugar.Then carefully pour the cake mixture over the fruit till it covers the whole pan.
6.) Put in the over and bake at 25-30 minutes.  (A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean)
7.) Turn the pan upside-down. But before doing this,loosen the edges of the cake with a knife and hit the bottom of the pan with your palm.

That's it! You're done. Now go try that cake.
Just give in to it: you will have seconds!

Spoken like a true Pirate............

But read the recipe. You can substitute rum for the water.
A very good trade-off in my book.
One I do quite often.

She is an accomplished baker, and is now willing to share her recipes with others here.
Some are from online, some are from other sources, some are hand-me-downs from her relatives.

I will be posting her recipes here. No schedule........whenever she gives me one to put up.
But rest assured: if you follow the instructions, you will have a culinary work of art.
