Boxed cake mix is an easy way to make this classic recipe in a flash. You’ll need eggs and oil or butter depending on the ingredients needed to complete the boxed cake mix.

Follow the directions on your box of cake mix, substituting the water called for with the liquid from your can of pineapple rings. If you’re short the required amount of liquid, add water.

The liquid from the canned pineapple rings will be used to replace the water needed for the boxed cake mix. It will add even more moisture and pineapple flavor to the cake.

Go fancy on the cherries to add some flair to your cake. If you want to kick up the flavor, and bring a bit more flair to your cake presentation, use Luxardo maraschino cherries, or artisanal, alcohol-soaked cocktail cherries. Bourbon cherries from Jack Rudy are a great choice. If you stop half-way or slow down during the flip, you’re gonna make a mess. Flip it smoothly and decisively and you’ll be in good shape.

FAQ: Can I substitute crushed pineapple? If you can’t find pineapple rings, you can use crushed pineapple, which you’ve drained and reserved the liquid from. You’ll want to be more artistic with the arrangement of your cherries if you use crushed pineapple. Should pineapple upside down cake be refrigerated? If not consumed within 48 hours, you should refrigerate your pineapple upside-down cake. If your kitchen is hotter than 70oF you should refrigerate it immediately.

The recipe is not gluten-free if you use the Betty Crocker cake mix I suggested. This is such a classic mid-century American dish, I love it with my easy smashed burgers or bacon-wrapped hotdogs.
