Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Prepare the pan by pouring half of the melted butter into it. Use a brush to spread the butter evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the melted butter and mix with the brush to distribute it evenly.

Step 4

Arrange the pineapple rings on the bottom of the pan and place a cherry in the center of each ring.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, crushed pineapple, and the remaining melted butter. Beat with a hand mixer on medium for 1 minute, then scrape the sides and mix on high for an additional minute.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly over the prepared pan.

Step 7

Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully turn the cake out onto a serving platter and enjoy either warm or at room temperature!
