Upside Down Candied Pecan Pineapple Cake

Ingredients:

Cake mix (yellow), prepared (doubled)

1/4 cup butter

1.5 cups brown sugar

2 cups pecans

Pineapple slices

Maraschino cherries

Instructions:

Heat oven @ 325.

Prepare cake mix. (I doubled the cake mix). I used box cake (yellow) set aside. I don’t measure but I’ll do my best.

Add about 1/4 c. Butter and a cup in a half of brown sugar to a cast iron pan.

Melt on medium heat.

Stir in about 2 cups of pecans.

Keep stirring constantly for about 4 minutes, the mixture will start to bubble and stick together.

Turn off heat and add pineapple and cherries.

Pour prepared cake mix into the pan.

Cook for about 37-44 minutes, until the center is cooked through.

Remove from oven, let stand for 5 minutes.

Slide knife around outer edges and then flip onto a round cookie sheet.
