A couple weeks ago on Father's Day I made this super yummy, super easy cake! It was perfect for the summer! I thought I'd share the recipe before the are no more yummy sweet strawberry's left at the grocery store.

Easy Peezy Strawberry Pineapple Upside Down Cake!

1 box of yellow cake mix (plus ingredients requested on the box)
1 20oz. can of Crushed pineapple in juice
1 large basket of fresh strawberries (sliced thin)
1 Stick of real butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar (you can use more or less depending on your taste)

Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees. Make the yellow cake according to the directions on the box. Open the pineapple and stain all of the juice from it, and set aside. Grab a 9 x 11 cake pan (i use a glass baking dish), place your butter in the dish.

I know a whole stick of butter sounds like a lot but you can cut it in half if you want, I just love how much better it tastes with all the butter it is just so yummy! Trust me you'll love it too!

Ok so I put the butter in the dish and stick it in the oven to melt it. Once the butter is melted you want to put the brown sugar in the baking dish and let it soak up all that butter. Spread the brown sugar evenly around the baking dish. (This is where you'll decide if you need more or less brown sugar...I always say that more is better!) Once you've coated the bottom of the dish with the buttery brown sugar you want to put in your crushed pineapple. Be sure that you spread this evenly around the dish. Now pour the cake mix you made on top of this. Stick it in the oven and bake according to the directions on the box.

Once the cake is done take it out of the oven and cover with a large flat dish. I use a cookie sheet just cuz it's easy but if you have a pretty dish that is flat and will cover the entire pan go for it. Cover the dish and turn it upside down. Cake should come out easily.

At this point you want to arrange your slice strawberries on top of the cake. Layering as you go.

Thats it! The result is a super yummy summer cake!

Hope you love it!
