Pineapple Upside Down Cake Dutch Oven Recipe
Ingredients:
1 yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 20-ounce can pineapple slices
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
12 maraschino cherries
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 20-ounce can pineapple slices
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
12 maraschino cherries
Instructions:
In a large bowl, blend the dry cake mix, eggs, oil, and juice from the pineapples instead of a cup of water.
Warm the dutch oven over a few coals.
Melt the butter in the dutch oven.
Remove the dutch oven from the coals.
Swirl the butter around to coat the entire bottom and at least an inch or so up the sides of the dutch oven.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter.
Lay eight pineapple slices in a circle with a ninth slice in the center.
Place a maraschino cherry inside the hole of each pineapple slice.
Pour the cake batter over the pineapple slices in a large circle, ensuring it fills out to the edges.
Bake at about 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.
The cake is done if a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Bake longer as needed.
When finished, remove the dutch oven from the heat and let the cake cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
Open the dutch oven and lay an 11-inch dinner plate upside down on the cake.
Holding the plate in place with one hand, and the dutch oven with the other, flip the whole thing upside down. Lift the dutch oven leaving the cake on the plate.
Options: Go ahead and place more cherries in the spaces between the pineapple slices if you want more color and flavor.
Serves 8-12.

All recipes use a 12-inch dutch oven, unless specified.
If you have a 10-inch dutch oven, use about 2/3 to 3/4 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If you have an 8-inch dutch oven, use about 1/2 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If no temperature is listed, use 350 degrees.

Dec 13, 2017 - Alex CullUsing it for my Boyscout Troop it's great
Jan 16, 2019 - Sam GGreat success with this recipe. I thought I would have trouble
getting the cake out of the dutch oven, but it came out easily.
Just make sure you coat the sides and everything with butter!
Feb 07, 2019 - AbbyThis recipe is awesome! My mom gave me a Dutch Oven for
Christmas and I have no idea how to use it. Made this cake as my
first ever Dutch Oven recipe and it turned out great! My Dutch oven
was a little smaller but I still used the same recipe and it turned out
fluffy and moist. I’ll be using more of these awesome recipes!
Thanks for sharing your recipes.
