Pineapple Upside Down Cake

You will need:

11" Liquid Core® Electric Skillet with Cover
4 quart mixing bowl
2T margarine or butter
2T brown sugar
7 pineapple rings (reserve all juice)
1 egg
18-oz. yellow cake mix (no pudding in the mix)
Reserved juice from pineapple rings (1/2-1 cup)
7 maraschino cherries (optional)

  • In mixing bowl, combine cake mix, egg, and pineapple juice. The longer you mix,
    the fluffier your cake will be.
  • Melt margarine or butter in the skillet over medium (350 degrees) heat. Add brown
    sugar and mix as it dissolves.
  • Place pineapple rings in the sugar and margarine mixture, covering as much of
    the skillet bottom as possible. Place a cherry in the center of each ring if desired.
  • Pour batter into the skillet over pineapple slices. Cover and bake for five minutes. 
  • Turn off the heat and let the cake sit for 25 minutes.
  • Allow cake to cool in the skillet with the cover off, then invert onto a plate and and serve.
  • You just used only 5 minutes' worth of baking time -- and only had to heat a small
    skillet instead of your entire oven (and your house)!
