The Best Pineapple Upside Down Cake with Pecans
You will need a few ingredients:
Duncan Hines box cake mix- Pineapple Supreme
Pineapple slices
Delicious cherries
Brown sugar
Butter
Pecans
Eggs
Oil
Let’s start making the Best Cake Ever
Set your oven to 350
In a large bowl, mix the cake mix as described on the box, except I added milk instead of water. Well, I forgot to add 2 tablespoons of flour (because I’m in a high-altitude area) the cake sunk a little bit in the center. So if you are not baking at a high altitude, omit the flour. If you are in a high-altitude environment, add 2 tablespoons of flour to the cake mix.
I set my cake mix to the side
Next, you will melt your butter
In your 9 x 13 cake pan, pour the melted butter, then sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the butter. Next, drain your pineapples and add 1 at a time. Next, your stemless cherries, then add your pecans for an added crunch.
Now pour the cake mix on top of the pineapple mixture. (I didn’t spray any non-stick spray on the cake pan because it has a butter base) you, too, do not need to add any non-stick spray.
Bake this cake for 35-45 minutes or until it’s completely done.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 25 minutes before un panning the cake onto a serving dish.
Once your cake has cooled, serve the cake right away. You can also store the cake in the refrigerator for a few days. It will still be delicious. This is an easy dessert you can make at home. Let me know how it turns out.
