Chocolate Pineapple-Cherry-Pecan Upside Down Cake image

My husband, who I affectionately call Meathead, came up with this recipe. I bake this cake for him and his lunch pals, as well as for our neighbors who don't cook/bake much anymore. They all seem to really like it!

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 ounce) box devil's food cake mix, with pudding in the mix

1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices, drained and dried

Steps:

  • Grease and flour a bundt pan. Lay pineapple slices in bottom of pan (mine held six slices), then put a maraschino cherry in the middle of each slice.
  • Roughly chop the remaining pineapple slices.
  • Combine cake mix, extract, eggs and vegetable oil with mixer, until all cake mix is somewhat moist. Fold in, by hand, the pie filling, chopped pineapple and pecans.

  • Let cool slightly in pan then invert cake onto a platter.
