Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • ¼ cup butter

  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (Optional)

  • 1 ½ cups biscuit baking mix (such as Bisquick®)

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ½ cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 large egg

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Melt butter in a 9-inch baking pan in the preheating oven. Remove pan.

  3. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter in the pan.

  4. Arrange pineapple chunks in a single layer over the butter and brown sugar, then sprinkle with pecans; set aside.

  5. Beat biscuit baking mix, white sugar, milk, oil, vanilla, and egg together in a large bowl on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl constantly.

  6. Increase mixer speed to medium and continue beating until batter is smooth, about 4 minutes more.

  7. Slowly pour batter over the pineapple mixture.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

  9. Run a paring knife between the cake and the edge of the pan to loosen cake. Cover the cake pan with a plate, and invert it to flip the cake out of the pan and onto the plate. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
