1/4
cup butter or margarine
1/4
cup packed brown sugar
1
can (8 oz) pineapple slices, drained, cut in half
2
tablespoons chopped pecans, if desired
Maraschino cherries, if desired
1 1/2
cups Original Bisquick® mix
1/2
cup granulated sugar
1/2
cup milk or water
2
tablespoons vegetable oil
1
teaspoon vanilla
1
egg
  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F. In 9-inch round pan or 8-inch square pan, melt butter in oven. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over melted butter. Arrange pineapple slices in single layer over sugar mixture. Sprinkle with pecans. Place cherry in center of each pineapple slice (cherries with stems can be added after baking).
  • 2 In large bowl, beat remaining ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on medium speed 4 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over pineapple and cherries.
  • 3 Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately place heatproof serving plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over cake a few minutes so brown sugar mixture can drizzle over cake; remove pan. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving. Store loosely covered.

Expert Tips

Banana Upside-Down Cake: Omit pineapple, cherries and pecans. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts over brown sugar mixture in pan. Cut 2 bananas into slices; arrange on brown sugar mixture.

Pear Upside-Down Cake: Substitute 1 large pear, thinly sliced, for the pineapple.

Raspberry Upside-Down Cake: Substitute 1 1/2 cups raspberries for the pineapple, granulated sugar for the brown sugar and sliced almonds for the pecans. Omit cherries. Decrease vanilla to 1/2 teaspoon; add 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.

Hey everyone, my mom used to make a pineapple upside down cake when I was a little girl. My mom passed away due to cancer many years ago. I have a 13 year old daughter, and I want to make one for her. I've read your reviews, and I'm going for it this week. I'll let you know how it turns out...can't wait to create comfort food memories with my little girl too:)

My mother made this delicious coffee cake back in the 50's. I loved it then and still do. It is an all time favorite and very quick and easy to make. I too use the pineapple juice instead of water to give it an extra kick. Wonderful!
