5. To see your masterpiece in all its glory, invert a serving plate into the pan and then invert both the plate and the pan. Once the brown sugar coating has dripped over the cake, remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes.

Spice up the brown sugar butter mixture with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg if you’re in the mood for an experimental twist.
– For a change of pace and a more nutty flavor, try using pecans instead of maraschino cherries.
– Do you not have any pineapple juice? Sure thing. If you prefer milk, that works too. The cake will taste great, albeit it won’t be quite as tropical.
– Wait no more than fifteen minutes before flipping the cake; otherwise, the sugar will set and the cake will not invert easily from the pan.
Always put a lot of love (and some patience) into your cooking. Love is the most vital ingredient. Jump on the upside-down ride!
