Notes: My Mom told me that when she was young neighbors would hire her to make this cake and they would pay her 25 cents! I use this recipe when I make a Pineapple Upside Down Cake.
To make a Pineapple Upside Down Cake, just melt 1 stick butter in the oven in the bottom of 9 X 13 pan, remove from oven and add one large can crushed pineapple (juice and all) and 1 cup of brown sugar. Stir well and pour cake batter over top. Bake as usual...might take a little longer and look a little browner, but that's ok! After removing from oven, let stand 5-10 minutes then invert onto foil covered cookie sheet. Decorate with red maraschino cherries!
