My husband Bill (Dinky) is a diabetic and I'm always searching and coming up with recipes for him. I do not like the taste of "DIET FOOD"! This recipe is so good that even I will eat it! This cake is better a day after it is made.

How To Make dinky's sugar free pineapple upside down cake

  • 1
    To make the cake, mix the cake mix and pudding mix together in a medium bowl until blended with a whisk. In another bowl, mix together the eggs, oil, and the one cup pineapple juice from the can of sliced pineapple. If you do not have enough juice, add water to make one cup of liquid. Mix together and then pour into the dry ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer until blended for about two minutes. Scrape and mix with a spoon to make sure you get all the ingredients mixed.
  • 2
    Set your oven on 350 degrees F. To make the topping, pour the melted butter into a greased 9x13 inch pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bottom of the pan. Put the well drained slices of pineapple over the brown sugar. Add the cherries to the middle of each of the pineapple rings. More cherries can be added.
  • 3
    Gently pour your cake batter over the top of the pineapples and cherries. Distribute the batter evenly in the pan. Go from corner to corner of the pan. Shake back and forth a little bit to be sure of the evenness.
  • 4
    Bake for about 35-40 minutes. It will depend on your oven. Use the tooth pick test to check for doneness. Stick toothpick in center of cake and if it comes out clean it's done.
  • 5
    Remove from oven and let set for 4 or 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan. Invert the cake onto a serving platter. You want to remove the cake before it cools. It will stick to the bottom if you let it cool too much.

    Note: This cake tastes really good a day later with Sugar Free Cool Whip on top. You can add more pineapple. One can does not cover the whole cake, but I only use one can of pineapple and spread the rings out. You can cut a couple of the rings in half to fit.
