2 Tbsp. margarine or butter

1/3 c. packed brown sugar

1 8-ounce can pineapple slices, drained and halved

4 maraschino cherries, halved

Batter for Busy-Day Cake

Melt margarine in a 9x1 ½ inch round baking pan. Stir in sugar and 1 Tbsp. water. (I like to use pineapple juice instead of water.) Arrange pineapple and cherries in the pan. Prepare batter for Busy-Day Cake; spoon into the pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes or till a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Loosen sides; invert onto a plate. Serve warm. Serves 8.
