Pineapple Upside Down Cake
HOME
¼ c. butter
½ c. brown sugar
1 can sliced pineapple
1 yellow cake mix
1 egg

Place butter and brown sugar in heated Dutch oven and stir until well mixed.  Place the pineapple slices in the butter and sugar mixture in the oven.

In a separate bowl, mix the cake mix and the egg.  Pour this batter over the pineapple in the oven, then put the lid on the oven and bake about 30-40 minutes.  Test the cake for doneness with a  straw or toothpick.

When the cake is done, let the oven cool for about 10 minutes.  Using a large cutting board or piece of cardboard covered with wax paper, hold the board on top of the oven and invert the oven quickly.
Serves 8.


Box Oven Method:
