Independence Day Dessert

Are you looking for a classic dessert for your 4th of July festivities?  How about a good old fashioned Pineapple Upside Down Cake?  Here is what you will need;


One Cast Iron Skillet

One Box Yellow Cake Mix

One Can Pineapple Slices

1/4 cup Butter

2/3 cup Brown Sugar

1 jar Maraschino Cherries

Preheat oven to 350.  Prepare cake batter as directed in a bowl and set to the side.  Melt butter in skillet.  Once it is melted, sprinkle in the brown sugar.  Arrange Pineapple slices in the pan and place cherries in the centers.  Pour cake batter over the top of the fruit.  Place skillet in oven for 35-45 minutes or until baked all the way through.  When done baking, place skillet on cooling rack for about 15 minutes.  Put an upside down cake platter on top of the skillet containing the cake and carefully turn over.  Leave pan on platter for a few minutes while the cake settles onto the platter.  Gently lift the pan... and enjoy!

What if you can't get the cake mix? Just use a normal sponge cake mixture?
