Description

This classic upside-down cake is a nostalgic treat that combines the bright acidity of tart red cherries with the juicy sweetness of crushed pineapple. The fruit sits atop a tender, buttery cake layer that forms from a simple white cake mix, creating a rich and moist dessert that is surprisingly easy to assemble. Finely chopped walnuts add a delightful crunch and earthy depth to every bite. It is the perfect centerpiece for a summer barbecue, a family Sunday dinner, or any occasion where comfort food is called for. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream for an unforgettable experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Drain the cherries and pineapple, reserving the juice.
  3. In an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking pan, spread the drained cherries and pineapple evenly.
  4. Pour the reserved fruit juice over the fruit in the pan.
  5. Scatter the finely chopped walnuts evenly over the fruit.
  6. Spread the dry white cake mix evenly over the nuts and fruit.
  7. Pour the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix, ensuring all areas are covered.
  8. Bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are pulling away from the pan.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  10. Place a serving plate upside down over the pan and carefully invert to release the cake.
  11. Let the cake sit for a few minutes to allow excess syrup to drain back into the pan.
  12. Cut into squares and serve warm, topped with whipped cream if desired.
