Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of luscious butter
- 1 cup of rich brown sugar, tightly packed
- A can of pineapple slices (14 ounces), drained with its precious juice saved
- A handful of maraschino cherries (around 15), or more if desired
- A can of crushed pineapple (14 ounces), drained with its juice saved, split into portions
- A delightful package of cherry chip cake mix (15.25 ounces)
- 1 cup of the nectar from the canned pineapple
- 3 eggs, gently beaten
- 1/2 cup of melted butter, smoothly flowing
- 1 1/2 fluid ounces of flavorful rum
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for a delightful baking experience.
Step 2
In a 9x13-inch cake pan, introduce 1/2 cup of butter and let it melt gracefully in the warm oven. Once melted, take the pan out and lovingly coat its sides with the fragrant melted butter.
Step 3
Sprinkle a generous layer of brown sugar over the now-buttery pan canvas. Arrange the pineapple rings atop the sugary bed, nestling maraschino cherries in the center and adorning the gaps as your heart desires. Remember to set aside 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple for later, ensuring the rest fills the spaces snugly. Remember to drain the reserved crushed pineapple well.
Step 4
In a spacious bowl, combine cake mix, 1 cup of pineapple juice, eggs, and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Gently blend the ingredients with an electric mixer on low speed until just moistened, then elevate the speed to medium for 2 minutes. Infuse the mix with rum and the saved 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple, stirring until perfectly melded. Pour this luscious batter into the awaiting pan and level it with care using a trusty spatula.
Step 5
Let the cake dance in the oven until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean, taking care not to pierce through the bottom, for about 30 to 35 minutes.
Step 6
Once baked to perfection, free the cake from the confines of the pan by running a knife along its edges. Allow it to cool in the pan for a brief moment. Then, place a serving platter over the pan, flip both together while the cake is still warm, and gently remove the pan to unveil your creation.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Let's start with the basics - always store your fresh pineapples in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain their juicy and sweet flavor, perfect for that tropical twist in your cake.
- 2. When it comes to cherries, store them in the refrigerator in a paper bag to keep them fresh and prevent them from getting mushy. Remember, ripe cherries are essential for that burst of flavor in every slice of the cake.
