Pineapple Upside Down Cake

This cake is so easy to make and baking it in a cast iron skillet makes all the difference. It's a great cake to have when the weather gets warm.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt margarine in a LARGE cast iron skillet on top of stove. Stir in brown sugar. Place pineapple slices and cherries on top of the brown sugar mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for approixmately 25 minutes.
  2. 2
    Use heavy hot pads to remove the skillet from the oven when done. While the cake is still hot, loosen the edge of the skillet with a knife and turn onto a serving plate. Let cool and enjoy!

Excellent! I used no-salt butter instead of margarine (I didn't have enough margarine on hand) and when I first turned it out on the serving plate I thought the brown sugar topping was going to be a little mushy, but when it cooled down it was just perfect. Came out of the skillet very slick and was absolutely gorgeous. I added a couple of tablespoons of maraschino cherry juice to the cake mix which pinked it up a little and helped carry the cherry flavor throughout. Thanks!

    Oh, Java, this was soooo good! Followed directions exactly, except I had a couple of pineapple slices so cut them into small pieces and put in the cake batter. It came out of the skillet as slick as a whistle and looked beautiful. It was a big, big hit with our weekly card get-together. Had to give out the recipe. Thank you for posing it.

    Great cake! So impressive yet so easy to make! I used 8" cake pans and got 2 cakes out of it. I froze one cake after it was baked. When I was ready to use it, I defrosted it at room temperature and then baked it for 20 minutes to get the juices flowing again!
