Rum Pineapple Upside Down Cake



Baking this cake in a cast iron skillet is key!

1/4 cup (half stick) butter
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 (20 oz) can pineapple slices (drain/reserve juice
2 TBlsp rum (can be dark or light)
Maraschino cherries
1 pkg Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Pineapple Supreme Cake Mix

Preheat oven to 350 ºF.
Place butter in cast iron skillet on stovetop to melt. Add brown sugar. Stir to incorporate then remove from heat. Arrange pineapple slices and maraschino cherries on sugar mixture.
Prepare cake mix as directed on package, however, instead of water-substitute 1 Cup of Pineapple liquid, 2 TBlsp Rum, and enough water so it all measures 1 1/3 cup.
Add to cake mix and blend well
Pour batter evenly over fruit
Bake 50 minutes or until toothpick in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes. Invert onto large serving plate or cookie sheet.
