How To Make pineapple & cream cheese upside down cake

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch spring form pan with nonstick cooking spray. Note: If using a regular sized cake mix, use a larger spring form pan, and increase the baking time, at least by 15 minutes. ( I used a regular mix and a 9.5 inch pan ). Keep checking it with a wooden pick in the center till comes out clean.
  • 2
    Stir together melted butter and brown sugar in pan. ( I doubled this )
  • 3
    Place 8 pineapple slices in sugar mixture. Place cherry in center of each pineapple slice; cut remaining 2 slices of pineapple in half and place decoratively around slice in center of the pan.
  • 4
    Prepare cake mix according to the package directions.
  • 5
    Pour half cake batter evenly over pineapple.
  • 6
    Beat cream cheese, lemon gelatin and eggs in bowl of an electric mixer until smooth.
  • 7
    Spread cream cheese mixture gently over cake mix.
  • 8
    Pour remaining cake mix over cheese cake in pan. I wrapped the pan in foil, as it was leaking a bit after 10 minutes of baking.
  • 9
    Bake 65 to 75 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. ( if using a regular sized cake mix as I did..add an additional 10 - 15 minutes on the baking time than what the original recipe called for).
