Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Have you ever had Pineapple Upside Down Cake?

I had never eaten it, until I made this recipe.

I was a little surprised at how simple it was to make and how few ingredients were involved…especially the cake mix!

But being me, I couldn’t leave the recipe alone – I had to play with it and instead ended up with “Chocolate” Pineapple Upside Down Cake — a delicious, play on an old-fashioned recipe.

Try it…you’ll love it!

Ingredients:

8 pineapple slices

Lay the pineapple slices in a circular pattern, inside a 9 inch round cake pan.

Place a maraschino cherry in the of each pineapple slice. Place a chocolate covered cherry on top of the maraschino.

Combine melted butter, brown sugar and salt in a small bowl. Drizzle over the pineapple slices and cherries.
