On my way to a Hawaiian-themed party, all I could think of was pineapple upside-down cake. The recipes did not seem Hawaiian enough. I can't tell you how many people raved at the party. The whole cake is gone.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings ½ cup butter, melted 1 ½ cups brown sugar 8 canned sliced pineapple rings (drain and reserve juice) ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts ½ cup flaked coconut, divided 2 canned sliced pineapple rings, chopped 12 maraschino cherries ½ cup reserved pineapple juice ½ cup coconut water ⅓ cup vegetable oil 3 eggs 1 ripe banana, mashed 1 (15.25 ounce) package white cake mix Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange pineapple rings in 2 rows in the baking dish. Sprinkle nuts, 1/4 cup coconut, and chopped pineapple between the rows of pineapple rings. Place a cherry in each pineapple ring, then scatter remaining 4 cherries over coconut mixture. Set the baking dish aside. Whisk together pineapple juice, coconut water, oil, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in mashed banana, white cake mix, and remaining 1/4 cup coconut until well blended. Pour batter slowly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Allow cake to cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes, then run a paring knife around the edges. Cover the baking dish with a large serving plate and invert cake onto the plate so pineapple slices face up. I Made It Print 83 home cooks made it!
