CURRIE'S QUICKEST PINEAPPLE
UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
 
1 box yellow cake mix (your favorite)
buttermilk (use in place of water)
1 (20 oz.) can sliced pineapples, drained
ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2/3 cup brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Prepare cake batter as box directs EXCEPT use buttermilk in place of water.

Note: Old timers used this trick to make these cakes extra buttery and moist!!

Have your butter melted in a saucepan and add brown sugar. Heat till boiling, reduce heat to low.

Grease a metal or glass 13x9-inch pan with shortening and spread butter and brown sugar mixture into bottom of pan. Add pineapple slices, then sprinkle enough ground cinnamon onto pineapples to suit your taste. Pour cake batter over pineapple slices.

Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes or until done. Let cake cool somewhat then loosen sides with butter knife (if needed) and flip the cake over onto an appropriate sized cookie sheet.

Make some coffee!
