This is a hybrid pineapple upside-down cake which I've developed over the years. Instead of pineapple rings, I use crushed pineapple, coconut, and honey. It is very important to cool the mixture of butter and brown sugar before covering it with the rest of the ingredients, preventing the layer of pineapple and the cake mix from mixing prematurely. Makes one 9x13 baking pan.

Ingredients

  • stick unsalted butter: 1 piece
  • brown sugar: 1 pack (16 ounce pack)
  • pineapple in juice, drained and juice reserved: 2 cans (20 ounce cans, crushed)
  • yellow cake mix: 1 box (18.25 ounce box)
  • eggs: 3 piece
  • butter: 0.33333 cup (melted)
  • honey: 1 jar (8 ounce jar)
  • coconut: 1 pack (8 ounce pack, shredded)

  2. Heat a 9x13-inch glass baking pan over low heat on the stove. Add 1 stick butter and heat until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover with brown sugar, mashing it into the butter using a fork. Let cool and refrigerate baking pan until butter hardens, about 15 minutes.
