Piña Colada Upside-Down Cake
Recipe
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 medium pineapple
1/2 cup maraschino cherries (15-20 cherries)
1 pkg (18.25 oz) yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1 can (13.25 oz) unsweetened coconut milk
1 tsp rum extract
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in Executive (12-in.) Skillet over low heat (do not use stainless cookware). Brush sides of Skillet with butter using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush. Remove from heat; sprinkle brown sugar over butter and set aside.
2. Cut off top and bottom of pineapple, creating a flat base; slice off rind from top to bottom. Cut pineapple into 12 slices; remove core using The Corer™. Cut slices in half. Arrange 22 of the pineapple slices around outer edge of Skillet; place two pineapple slices in center, forming a ring. Place one cherry in center of pineapple ring and additional cherries around outside of ring.
3. Combine cake mix, eggs, coconut milk and rum extract in Stainless (4-qt.) Mixing Bowl; whisk with Stainless Whisk until well blended. Carefully pour batter over pineapple in Skillet.
4. Bake 30-35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Meanwhile, place coconut into Small Micro-Cooker®; microwave on HIGH 2-3 minutes or until toasted, stirring after each 10-second interval. Remove cake from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool 5 minutes. Invert cake onto Simple Additions® Large Round Platter; gently press coconut around top edge and sides of cake.
