Pineapple Upside Down Cake

• 1 1/2 sticks of butter
• 1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 2 cups of white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 tsp of vanilla
• 3/4 tsp of rum
• 2 cups of sifted cake flour
• 2 tsp of baking powder
• 3/4 tsp of salt
• 1 9-inch Pyrex casserole dish
• Maraschino cherries
• 2 cans of pineapple rings

1. (Please coat the bottom of your Pyrex casserole dish with Baker's Joy or some type of cooking spray.)
2. In small bowl mixing bowl combine the brown sugar and cornstarch. Next, in microwave safe dish melt 1 stick of butter and once melted combine with the brown sugar and cornstarch mixture. Stir well and coat the bottom of your Pyrex dish generously with mixture. Add the pineapple rings on top of brown sugar mixture, then place Marschino cherries inside pineapple rings.
3. In stand mixer combine the butter and all other ingredients. This part of the cake is literally thrown together so don't bother creaming your sugar and your butter - just throw all of your ingredients together in the mixing bowl a little at a time until all the mixture is creamed together. This should take maybe10-15 minutes. Pour mixture in Pyrex dish.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for about 11/2 hours or until done. (special note - watch the center of the cake and check with toothpick. Center typically takes longer to cook, and once center is done your cake should be ready to come out of the oven.)
5. After your cake comes out of the oven immediately flip it upside down onto a cookie pan (use hot pot holders) remove glass Pyrex dish from the cookie sheet and replace any part of the cake that may have stuck to the bottom of the glass Pyrex dish.
6. Clean out the Pyrex dish immediately or you will regret it.
