Steps:

1 Follow instructions on cake box for making an oblong single layer cake. 2 Prepare cake batter and set aside. 3 Cut up butter in small pieces and place all over the bottom of the oblong pan specified on cake box. 4 Sprinkle brown sugar generously over the butter. 5 Place pan on the stove (or in the oven) and heat slowly until butter and sugar melt to a liquid then remove from heat. 6 Evenly space the pineapple slices around the bottom of pan in the heated sugar and butter. 7 Place the cherries and nuts between the pineapple slices (Tho the cherries and nuts look nice and taste great, they are optional). 8 Pour cake batter on top of the pineapple/cherry/nut mixture. 9 Place in oven and bake as directed on cake box. 10 As soon as cake is done place a plate over the cake and turn upside down and carefully remove pan. 11 If you wait too long the sugar will harden and be difficult to remove. 12 Note: Peaches may be used in place of pineapple.
