It’s your favorite dessert with a tropical twist! Pineapple upside-down cake is good, but pineapple upside-down cake with pineapple rum infused is so much better. Everything else you love about this classic dessert remains the same—juicy pineapple rings are baked in a caramel-like brown sugar sauce with a buttery yellow cake on top. Once the cake turns a decadent golden brown color, turn the maraschino cherry-studded dessert upside down, and brush the hot-from-the-oven cake with rum. Serve with whipped cream for a tropical treat that’ll whisk you away to paradise!
