Upside Down Candied Pecan Pineapple Cake recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 box yellow cake mix (you can double the mix if desired)
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 2 cups pecans
• Pineapple slices
• Maraschino cherries

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. Prepare the cake mix: Follow the instructions on the box to prepare the cake mix. If you want a larger cake, you can double the cake mix. Set aside.

4. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar and continue stirring until the mixture becomes smooth.
