Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 325 for dark coated pans, 350 for metal and glass pans
- 2
In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat.
- 3
Add brown sugar to melted butter, stir until mostly dissolved
- 4
Pour into a greased springform pan (that is placed on a baking sheet) I prefer springform vs bundt cake pans, just a preference. You can use whatever baking vessel you like. Baking times will vary, I'll add a picture of the back of the box for reference
- 5
Now, drain the can of pineapple slices, SAVING THE JUICE! This is key. You will use the juice in place of water needed in the batter.
- 6
Place rings on top of brown sugar and butter mixture. Add a dabbed dry maraschino cherry to the middle of each ring. Dabbing helps keep the red juice from extra staining to the cake and the rings.
- 7
Now, add the 1 cup reserved pineapple juice, the oil and eggs to the cake mix. Beat at low speed for 2 minutes, pour batter over the rings.
- 8
Note: if you do not have enough juice to make 1 cup, simply add water to the juice until you reach the 1 cup mark.
- 9
Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
- 10
Run a knife between the cake and pan so make sure it's loosened before flipping. Let cake cool for about 5 minutes before flipping. This insures the topping won't run off, but will still release from pan without difficulty.
- 11
For easy flipping: place the platter on top of the pan. Firmly hold the platter against pan and invert quickly. It can be scary, but just try to stay calm! :)
- 12
Now let cool about 20 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!

My uncle was the first one I saw make this cake when I was about 18 years old. It was really magical. No, not because of all the partying that was going on. I was just amazed at how good it looked. If you don’t want to go through the hassle of making your own cake, a Yellow Cake Mix will do the job along with some pineapple rings. Karl -
