I love Jiffy boxed mixes. I grew up eating them. There is something wonderfully old fashioned about the packaging and the product. One of my favorite desserts to make is pineapple upside down cake. I use the golden yellow cake mix and add the pineapple juice from the canned pineapple instead of the water. It is simple and not a big deal to make. The only problem is finding the cake mix. I can usually only find the corn bread, which I also love.

Check out the Jiffy website and order their cookbook!

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Serves 9

1 pkg. “JIFFY” Golden Yellow Cake Mix
1 egg
½ cup pineapple juice from the drained pineapple (top up with water to measure ½ cup)
½ cup brown sugar
8 oz sliced pineapple, drained and reserve juice

Preheat oven to 350°.

Butter an 8″ square pan and sprinkle with brown sugar. Place pineapple over the brown sugar mixture. Set aside. In separate bowl, beat cake mix, egg and the juice for 4 minutes on medium. Pour batter over top of pineapple mixture. Bake 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 1-2 minutes. Invert on serving plate. Cool or serve warm.
