Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat the bottoms and sides of each 9 inch round cake pan with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle the bottom of each pan with 1/4 cup of brown sugar.
- In one of the pans, sprinkle coconut over the brown sugar. Lay pineapple rings in a single layer on top of coconut. Place a cherry in the center of each ring. In the other pan, spread the drained crushed pineapple.
- Mix the cake as directed on package, but substitute reserved pineapple juice in place of water. Divide batter between the 2 pans. Remember which pan has the pineapple rings in it.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Cool in pans for 20 minutes.
- While the bottoms of the cake pans are still warm to the touch, invert the layer with the crushed pineapple out onto a serving dish, then gently invert the layer with the pineapple rings on top of it for a dazzling two layer pineapple upside down cake.

This would have been 5 star if I didnt tweek the 2nd time around. First off, Golden Butter Cake mix, instead of plain yellow changes this from being just ok, to incredible. The amount of liquid ...

Great cake - my only complaint is that in the recipe instructions, it says to let the cake sit for 30 minutes after taking it out of the oven - BAD IDEA! The topping stuck to the pan when it co...

Very tasty, without being overly sweet. I simplified and slightly modified the recipe: Butter was increased to 1/2 cup. I placed it in an ungreased 9x13 pan, and let it melt in the oven while...

Great cake that tasted so much like my grandma's homemade one! I omitted the coconut because hers didn't have it, and it was just fine. Be careful not to shake the layer with the pineapple slic...

I also used a yellow butter-recipe mix and it was moist and delicious. But even though I only cooled it for 15 mins., the top had big, ugly cracks next to the pineapple slices because both laye...
