Colleen's Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Posts: 285
My wife made this fabulous desert for us at the Texas Eggfest.
She asked me to post the recipe - here ya go!
Cast Iron Skillet Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Ingredients:
● 1/2 cup butter
● 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
● 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
● 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored,eyes removed, and sliced
● 1 pkg butter recipe cake mix
● 1/2 cup butter, melted
● 2/3 cup water
● 3 whole eggs
Directions:
Melt 1/2 c. butter in 10-inch cast iron skillet (a deep one is best). Add brown sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add chopped pecans to mixture just before taking off fire.
Set skillet off heat and then add prepared pineapple. Slice pineapple into rings. (I chop a couple rings into pieces for added pineapple between the slices in bottom of skillet.) Arrange pineapple on top of brown sugar mixture. Maraschino cherries may be placed around at this time.
Prepare cake mix as directed on box. If there is juice from pineapple, that can be used instead of the water to make the 2/3 c. of liquid. Add remaining butter, eggs, and liquid to cake mix stir until thoroughly beaten. Pour on top of pineapple mixture.
Place in green egg indirect at 350 degrees. No lid on skillet. Check every 20 minutes and rotate to ensure even cooking.
Bake time is about 1 hour but check with wooden toothpick for doneness. Let cake cool for at least 10 minutes. Run knife around cake to loosen from sides of skillet. Invert onto serving plate.

Wow, that looks really good. I think I'm going to make that this weekend, as we are cooking a fresh ham and that would make an excellent desert for the visiting crowd. Thanks for posting the recipe.

DANG! That was great!! Wanted some with coffee the next morning -
Colleen's cake may have been the most photographed food at the fest
-
Looks delish! Definitely gonna be making this soon. Thanks for sharing!

I heard a rumor of the cake, but until this moment had assumed that it was only a rumor because I saw no evidence of this cake at the fest. Sigh. People were walking one way looking smug and satisfied, other people were dashing the other way looking for a taste. I was in the middle being way too slow... It does look very tasty.
