Pineapple upside down cake.

I can't believe how good this cake turned out, especially coming from a box.
I desired to make it for my son's birthday and since he doesn't eat a lot of sweets i wanted to do a cake that both the birthday boy and the parents (us) will really enjoy and like.

So i went ahead and grabbed some ingredients and we have a wonderful pineapple upside down cake.

1 box of ducan hines pineaple supreme cake mix
1 stick of butter
1 cup firmely packed dark brown sugar
Marashino cherries
1 can of sliced pineapples (reserve the juice from the can)

Preheat your oven at 350°
Put the butter in a 9×13 pyrex and place it in the oven to melt it.
Once your butter is melted add the sugar and make sure you cover all the bottom of the pyrex. Arrange the pineapples as you desire and place a cherrie on the center of each pineaple slice.

Follow the box instructions to make the cake.
I did not add the instant pudding mix the recipe calls for and use the pineapple juice instead of water to make it more fruity.

Once you're done with the batter place it on top of the brown sugar and pineaple. Take it to the oven and bake for the time shown in the box or until and inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Let it rest for 10 minutes and turn it upside down while is still hot and you'll have a pineaple upside down cake.

For me it taste better the day after as it gets so moist and delicious.
