Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and coat a 9x13 pan with cooking spray along all the bottom and all of the sides.
- Place the butter in the bottom of the pan and then into the hot oven until butter melts, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together the brown sugar and salt.
- Remove the pan from the oven and swirl so butter covers the bottom. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over butter, using a spoon to evenly spread into the bottom of the pan. It may not fully absorb and be a little gritty, this is fine.
- Arrange pineapple slices over the brown sugar. Place cherries in the center of each slice and around the slices. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, pineapple juice (if reserved juices do not equal 1 full cup, add enough water to make 1 cup), eggs, oil and vanilla. Stir well until few lumps remain, about 2 minutes.
- Pour cake mix over pineapple slices.
- Return to oven and bake for 45-48 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test.
- Remove and immediately run a butter knife along the edges. Place a rectangular serving dish over the top and carefully using hot pads, invert. If the edges get a little too browned, use a serrated knife to trim them off.
- Remove the pan and serve warm or at room temperature.
