Need an impressive dessert to take to an End of Summer cookout? Give this Boozy Pineapple Upside Down Cake a Try! I recently took it to my neighbor's house for a little summer soiree and it was such a hit. I will say that you should govern yourself accordingly with how much glaze you add to this cake. I used Wray & Nephew which is a Jamaican rum and it is really strong. You can use anytime of rum that you would like. A dark spice rum would be great for this recipe or you could use a coconut rum which would give the came a nice pina colada flavor. It's up to you! When making a traditional pineapple upside down cake, you would normally put butter and brown sugar before adding the pineapple and cherries. I opted not to do that because I was topping my cake with a pineapple rum glaze and I didn't want it to be too buttery or too sweet. Below is the full recipe. This was an easy cake to make because I just doctored up a boxed cake mix. I love a good semi-homemade recipe because it has that homemade taste and it didn't take you a ton of time to make.

Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, milk, oil, instant pudding and sour cream. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for 2-3 minutes until well combined.

Step 2

Spray your Nordicware pineapple upside cake pan with cooking spray and then arrange pineapple slices and cherries to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Pour batter evenly over the fruit. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 4

Once the cake has cooled for about 15 minutes, use a wooden skewer to poke holes in the cake.

Step 5

Pour the Boozy Pineapple Rum Glaze directly into the top of the cake. The glaze will sink into the cake. *Save less than half of the glaze to brush on top of the cake once it's out the pan.

Step 6

Let the cake sit for 15-20 minutes and turn it out of the cake pan onto a serving plate. Brush with more pineapple rum glaze.
