Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

I just had a tour of the Jiffy Mix factory in Chelsea Michigan. 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 cornbread which I also love.

  • Prep: 10 mins
  • Cook: 45 mins
  • Yields: 9 Servings

Ingredients

1 package. "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 ounces sliced pineapple, drained and reserve juice

Directions

1Preheat oven to 350°.

2Butter an 8" square pan and sprinkle with brown sugar. Place pineapple over the brown sugar mixture. Set aside. In a 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 a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 1-2 minutes. Invert on serving plate. Cool or serve warm.

Leslie! NO– you’re not weird at all; just great at enjoying the really fun and finer things in life. You’ve inspired me to make exactly this recipe tonight–Richard adores pineapple upside down cake and I rarely get around to making it so with the simple recipe, I have no excuse not to get busy.

Leslie, this post is such fun! Have fond memories of Juffy mix boxes on the shelves at Adair St and in suitcases heading across the pond. Will be looking for this mix in particular. Thanks for the smile.
