Ingredients
  

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 20 oz. cans of pineapple rings soaked in Fireball whisky
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 8-12 maraschino cherries depending on your pan
  • Eggs and oil, from directions on the back of the box.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray your bundt pan with non-stick spray and also lightly coat it with flour.
  • Pour the melted butter into the bottom of your bundt pan, then sprinkle brown sugar evenly on top.
  • Nestle the pineapple slices into the grooves of your bundt pan. You may use more or fewer slices, just depending on the shape and design of your pan.
  • Nestle a maraschino cherry in between each pineapple slice.
  • In a large bowl, prepare the yellow cake mix according to the box directions, substituting the water for pineapple juice from your pineapple slice cans.
  • To pour the batter into the bundt pan, start by pouring it between your pineapple slices, working your way around. The slices will stand a little more upright, the more batter you add, just add a little at a time between each slice until you’ve added all of the batter.
  • Bake in a 350-degree oven for 33-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cook for 15-20 minutes before removing from the pan.
  • To remove, add a cake stand or wire rack to the top of the bundt pan, then flip the whole thing over.
  • Let the cake rest there until it releases from the pan, then remove the bundt pan.
  • Cut into 12 slices and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Important Note: The ones with 100% pineapple juice- no heavy syrup. You’ll only need the rings from 1 can, but you’ll need the juice from both cans. Save the remaining rings for snacking!
You can use the pineapple rings plain. Using Fireball Whisky-soaked pineapples is not a requirement, just a suggestion.
Note: only use half the oil amount from the back of the box.Approx. 1 cup of pineapple juice is reserved from the cans of pineapple slices.Whatever amount of water is on the back of the box, sub for pineapple juice!
