How to Make Pineapple Upside Down Cake in the Crockpot.
Use cooking spray to grease your crock-pot.
Place half a stick of butter into the crockpot on high.
Add slices of pineapple to the bottom of the pot when the butter is completely melted.
Place one cherry on each piece of pineapple, then add some brown sugar, and coconut on top.
Seal the lid to the crockpot, then begin to make your batter.
Add the cake mix, 1/3 cup of oil, eggs, and 1 cup of half n half to a bowl of a standing mixer. Combine all the ingredients in the bowl on low, then switch to medium-high, and combine for about 2 minutes.
Use a spatula to scrape any excess batter off the sides of the bowl and blend again until everything is fully incorporated.
Add the batter over top of the pineapples and let it cook for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the cake is set, and it bounces back when touched.
Let the cake cool down before cutting into squares.
Serve with whipped cream and extra cherries if desired and Enjoy!
Can I Use a Crock-Pot Liner For This?
For this Upside down, you will be using cooking spray and butter to keep the cake from sticking to the sides. However, if you want to add a liner to your crock-pot you can. Having a liner when cooking something for a couple of hours allows easier removal from the pot and easy clean up.
Can I Use Fresh Pineapple for Pineapple Cake?
For this Upside Down cake and many others, using fresh fruit is always best. Sometimes I recommend freeze-dried, canned, frozen, or fresh. However, for this recipe, the best option is fresh or canned. Using fresh ingredients enhance flavor.
