Topping
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed, you can use light or dark)
- 10 pineapple slices
- 10-20 maraschino cherries
Duncan Hines Cake
- 1 package Duncan Hines Cake Mix
- other ingredients called for on the box including water oil, and eggs
Make the Topping:
Pour melted butter into a 9-inch cake pan (or pie pan). Make sure the plate or pan is at least 2 inches deep. Spread the butter evenly to cover the entire bottom.
Sprinkle brown sugar evenly on top of the butter.
Pad dry pineapple slices, and arrange them on top of the brown sugar.
Place maraschino cherries in the center of pineapple slices. Set aside.
- Pat dry your pineapple slices/rings before placing them into the pie plate. Wet pineapple will cause the cake to overflow and the topping could ooze over the sides when inverted.
- Make sure your pie plate or cake pan is at least 2 inches deep.
