Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Pineapple rings in juice
- 8 pieces Maraschino cherries
- 1 box Boxed yellow cake mix
- 12 ounces Diet lemon-lime soda (e.g. Sprite Zero)
- 1 bottle Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish or pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the cake doesn't stick.
Arrange the pineapple rings in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Place one maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix with the diet lemon-lime soda. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and smooth, but avoid overmixing.
Pour the cake batter over the arranged pineapple rings and cherries, spreading it out evenly to cover the fruit.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
Invert the cake onto a serving platter by placing the platter over the pan and flipping it upside down in one smooth motion. Tap the bottom of the pan gently if needed to release the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Cut into 12 equal pieces and serve. Enjoy your light and delicious dessert!
