Dutch Oven Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 can sliced pineapple rings (10 slices), with juice
10 maraschino cherries
Preheat a 12-inch Dutch oven with about 8 coals underneath and
18 on top.
In a mixing bowl or gallon-size storage bag, combine dry cake
mix, eggs, oil and pineapple juice. Stir until lumps are gone.
If more liquid is needed, use a bit of the cherry juice. Set
aside.
Melt butter and brown sugar in the preheated Dutch oven,
stirring until sugar is dissolved. Place the pineapple rings
evenly in the oven. Place a cherry inside each ring. Pour cake
batter evenly over the rings. Return heated lid to the oven and
bake about 35 minutes or until the cake is done in the center.
The cake will shrink away from the sides a bit when done.
Remove the lid and invert the cake onto a serving dish.
Serves 6 to 8
