Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
12 canned pineapple rings
12 maraschino cherries
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, if desired
Additional maraschino cherries, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Divide melted butter between pans, completely covering bottoms of pans. Sprinkle brown sugar over butter. Place pineapple rings on brown sugar, 6 rings in each pan. Place maraschino cherry in center of each pineapple ring.
  • In large bowl, beat cake mix, pineapple juice, vegetable oil and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Divide batter between pans. Spread evenly.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until cake is golden and springs back when gently pressed. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Run knife around edges of pans; carefully turn cakes onto cooling racks. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • In medium bowl, beat whipping cream, granulated sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Place 1 cake layer on large plate or cake stand. Cover with 1 cup of the whipped cream. Carefully place second cake layer on top. Top with swirls of whipped cream, walnuts and additional cherries.
  • Refrigerate 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
