also, sugar and brown sugar!.!. can I make a pineapple upside down cake with only these ingredients!? If so !.!.can you give me some instructions on how to make it!. !?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Sure you can! But you have to also have the ingredients indicated on the cake mix box so that you can make the cake part!.

I'm going to assume you have those :) And I'm going to assume you have butter :)

Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the recipe on the box!.

Get out your favorite cake pan - for this, 9x11 or 9x13 (second choice) is best and glass pyrex is my fave!)!. This is important ==>> Do not grease it, do not flour it, do not use baking spray on it!.

Melt about 3 tablespoons of butter in the pan and then spread it around so that the pan is coated nicely!.!.!. if you need more butter, add it!.

Sprinkle in about a 1/4 - 1/2 cup of brown sugar!.!.!. just srpinkle it in and make sure you get it all nice and covered in a good layer of brown sugar!.!.!. it's the yumminess!!!

Drain the can of crushed pineapple and then spoon in the crushed pineapple on top of the brown sugar so that you have a layer of butter on the bottom then a layer of brown sugar on top of the butter and then a layer of crushed pineapple on top of the brown sugar :)

Next, spoon your cake batter on top and then bake according to the box of cake mix directions!.

Take it out of the oven!.!.!. let it cool for a bit but not completely!.!.!. just like about 10 min!.!.!. then grab a platter bigger than your cake pan, set it on top of the cake pan so it's like a lid :) Then grab both sides and invert it!. You'll have the pineapple on top and the cake on the plate!.

For more pineapple yumminess in the cake, reserve about a 1/4c of the pineapple juice and use that in place of 1/4 of the liquid in the cake recipel

Hope this helps - I make it a lot and it's fantastic!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It will probably still be good even if you don't have the cherries or the coconut!. You can use the crushed pineapple in place of the rings, it just won't be quite as pretty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can make a simple syrup with the sugars and add the pineapple!.!.!.!.basically cook them on the stovetop for a little while until it looks saucy, then pour it into your bundt cake pan (or whatever pan you're using) and put your cake mix on top! I usually throw a little rum extract or actual rum in there if i have it to give it some kick!.!.!.!.but it should work just fine to do with what you have!. Just make sure you cook it on the stove first so your sugars are nice and carmalized!Www@FoodAQ@Com
