Pineapple Upside Down Cake

I almost forgot to share the recipe of the Pineapple Upside Down Cake that my husband baked awhile back. But without further ado here is the recipe that he followed from Betty Crocker.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
6-9 pineapple slices in can (14 ounce), drain
9 pieces of cherries without stem (optional)
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup milk
1 egg

Procedure:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. In 9-inch square pan, melt butter in oven. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over melted butter. Arrange pineapple slices over brown sugar. Place cherry in center of each pineapple slice.
2. In medium bowl, beat remaining ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over pineapple and cherries.
3. Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately place heatproof serving plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over cake a few minutes so brown sugar mixture can drizzle over cake; remove pan. Serve warm.
