Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Good Job Vee Keep it up. (I realize I cannot write as well as Smi and Vee so will minimize my writing ....:)Seeing your postings I realized it was time to update some of mine too. I am not doing much cooking these days since the kitchen has been taken over by Amma and am enjoying some of her authentic konkani food. But Amma loves desserts and R loves cakes so I will post some Cake recipes. Most of my cakes are not made from scratch ...they are from the ready to make store bought mixes but with some creativity they turn out great. Pineapple Upside Down Cake is one of my favourites made ofcourse from the box but turns out just great. One of my first experiments with baking was in India with my childhood friend Su. We tried this cake on Aai's Aluminium Bundt Cake pan. It was one of the best cakes I have ever had. Aai and I still regret why we gave away that pan for a fancier one.:( So here goes..Pics to follow soon.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake
1 Duncan Hines Pineapple Upside Down Cake.
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 small Can crushed or sliced canned Pineapple
Cherries to decorate.

Prepare Cake mix as per Directions. (Tip: Replace the juice from the canned pineapple instead of water to add to the flavor)

Grease butter on cake pan . I sometimes even use olive oil spray.

Spread Brown sugar evenly.

Layer pineapples slices. Place one cherry on each slice. Pour the cake mix. Bake as per directions and when done ...guess what ....TURN it UPSIDE DOWN.
Tips: You can make a mix of 2 tsp honey, pineapple jam and spread it over the brown sugar.
