Answer 3

Well if you want to go for an easy one here is what I do.
1 yellow cake mix prepared as instructed
1 lg can pineapple rings
2/3-3/4 c. brown sugar
1 stick butter

While you prepare the cake mix and the oven heats put the pan with the stick of butter in the oven to melt the butter. Carefully take the pan out when the butter is melted. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly arrange pineapple rings. (note if you would like to add maraschino cherries add them at this point) Pour prepared batter over pineapple. Bake according to cake package then start. It usually takes the longer time.

Also I use the pineapple juice from the pineapple can in place of water sometimes you have to add a little water to it to get the right measurement.
And try searching this site for lots of ideas

Answer 4

ok first- mix butter and brown sugar till u have a paste. smear it all over the pan.
then take canned sliced fruit (either pineapple, or peaches, or whatever u want. u can even use fresh fruit if u want, but canned is easier.) layer those on the bottom of the pan on top of the sugar paste.
then just take a boxed cake mix- any flavor, (white, yellow, lemon then if u want u can add some flavorings to the batter, extracts, alcohol, fresh juice....whatever works for ya) mix the cake according to the box then pour over ur fruit and bake. when it's done and cool, just put a plate over the pan and flip it over. the cake and fruit should be upside down and look very yummy. not to mention smell good!! good luck!

Here's an easy recipe. Take a cake pan, and line with white sugar, then on top of that, line it with brown sugar.

Get a can of pineapples or peaches and drain juice. Place fruit on top of sugars. Mix cake mix according to box, only replace water w/juice.

Pour the batter over sugars and fruit and bake according to the box.
