Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 (14 ounce) can pineapple slices, drained and juice reserved
15 maraschino cherries, or more to taste
1 (14 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained and juice reserved, divided
1 (15.25 ounce) package cherry chip cake mix
1 cup juice from canned pineapple
3 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup melted butter
1 ½ fluid ounces rum

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Put 1/2 cup butter into a 9x13-inch cake pan and heat in the preheated oven until melted. Remove from oven and brush sides of pan with some of the melted butter.
  • Evenly sprinkle brown sugar over the melted butter in the pan. Place pineapple rings on top of the sugar-butter layer. Place maraschino cherries in the middle of the pineapple rings and decorate in between as desired. Reserve 1/2 cup crushed pineapple and fill the gaps with remaining crushed pineapple to completely cover the pan. Drain the reserved crushed pineapple very well.
  • Combine cake mix, 1 cup pineapple juice, eggs, and 1/2 cup melted butter in a large bowl; beat using an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Mix in rum and the reserved 1/2 cup crushed pineapple. Stir to thoroughly combine. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth out with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, making sure not to push all the way through the bottom of the cake, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove cake from the oven and immediately run a knife around the edge of the pan to thoroughly loosen it from the sides. Let cool in pan for a few minutes. Place serving platter upside-down over the pan while cake is still warm and, holding both together, flip over and leave pan on for a couple minutes. Slowly and carefully lift cake pan from cake.
