Preparation

Step 1

1 Follow instructions on cake box for making an oblong single layer cake.
2 Prepare cake batter and set aside.
3 Cut up butter in small pieces and place all over the bottom of the oblong pan specified on cake box.
4 Sprinkle brown sugar generously over the butter.
5 Place pan on the stove (or in the oven) and heat slowly until butter and sugar melt to a liquid then remove from heat.
6 Evenly space the pineapple slices around the bottom of pan in the heated sugar and butter.
7 Place the cherries and nuts between the pineapple slices (Tho the cherries and nuts look nice and taste great, they are optional).
8 Pour cake batter on top of the pineapple/cherry/nut mixture.
9 Place in oven and bake as directed on cake box.
10 As soon as cake is done place a plate over the cake and turn upside down and carefully remove pan.
11 If you wait too long the sugar will harden and be difficult to remove.
