• 1 can crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 jar maraschino cherries
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. Prepare cake mix as indicated on box. (Pineapple syrup can be substituted for part of the water indicated on the box.) Use small custard cups.
2. Make paste of butter and brown sugar. Spread paste around bottom of custard cups.
3. Sprinkle crushed pineapple over the butter/sugar mixture.
4. Place cherry in the middle of the pineapple mixture.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
