Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake Recipe
This cake recipe is perfect to make for a potluck party. It looks pretty, and it tastes even better than it looks. Pineapple Upside Cake is such a classic dessert, with beautiful rings of pineapple that is caramelized with butter and brown sugar and decorated with maraschino cherries. I am a scratch cake baker, as a general rule. But, once in a while, I keep a box of yellow or white cake mix on hand for those times I want a quick short cut. You an easily use your own scratch yellow cake mix. However, nobody in my family knew that this cake came from a mix-- they were too busy slicing second slices. Recipe source:Tip Hero
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 20-ounce can pineapple slices, juice reserved
- 1 jar maraschino cherries
- 1 box yellow cake mix**
- 1 3.4-ounce box vanilla pudding mix
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup milk, plus more as needed
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Spray a bundt pan with nonstick spray.
- Evenly pour the melted butter into the bottom of the bundt pan and top with the brown sugar.
- Cut the pineapple rings in half and, alternating with the cherries, place into the butter-brown sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake and pudding mixes together. Add the reserved pineapple juice and milk.
- Add the eggs and vegetable oil, and mix until fully blended.
- Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple and cherries.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, following the cake mix instructions for a bundt pan, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake for about 10 minutes before running a knife around the edges and inner ring of the pan.
- Invert onto a serving plate and slice between pineapple rings to serve.
- TIP: When you add the reserved pineapple juice and milk, they should equal 1 cup of liquid.
- If you like, you can first pour the reserved pineapple juice into a liquid measuring cup. Add enough milk until you have 1 cup of liquid. Add the liquid to the combined cake-and-pudding mix, then proceed with the recipe.
