Pineapple Upside-Down Rum Cake image

It's your favorite dessert with a tropical twist! Pineapple upside-down cake is good, but pineapple upside-down cake with pineapple rum infused is so much better. Everything else you love about this classic dessert remains the same-juicy pineapple rings are baked in a caramel-like brown sugar sauce with a buttery yellow cake on top. Once the cake turns a decadent golden brown color, turn the maraschino cherry-studded dessert upside down and brush the hot-from-the-oven cake with rum. Serve with whipped cream for a tropical treat that'll whisk you away to paradise!

Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 cans (8 oz each) sliced pineapple, drained, 1 cup juice reserved
12 maraschino cherries
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1/2 cup pineapple rum

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, melt butter in oven. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange pineapple slices in 4 rows by 3 rows. Place 1 cherry in center of each pineapple slice.
  • In large bowl, beat cake mix, reserved 1 cup pineapple juice, the oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over pineapple slices.
  • Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until golden brown and cake springs back when lightly touched in center. Run knife around edges of baking dish to loosen cake. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Place heatproof serving plate upside down on baking dish; turn plate and dish over. Remove dish. Brush or drizzle rum over cake. Cut into 4 rows by 3 rows, so each serving has a slice of pineapple on top. Serve warm.
