Is there anything more welcoming than the smell of pineapple upside down cake baking in the oven? This dessert is a classic for a reason – it's simple to make, and always delicious. And now, you can make it even easier with your air fryer. Just follow these simple steps, and you'll have a yummy dessert ready to enjoy in no time!

Ingredients 

  • 1 package cake mix, yellow or white

ingredients to make the cake mix (per package)

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 20 ounces canned pineapple
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 maraschino cherries

Instructions

  • Start by spraying your air fryer safe pan with non-stick cooking spray. Then melt the butter in the microwave, pour it on the bottom, and then sprinkle the brown sugar on the bottom.
  • Then prepare the cake mix.
  • Use the instructions on the cake mix box, and prepare the cake mix, as directed. Each cake mix will be different, mine had eggs, water, and oil.
  • Mix well.
  • Then place the pineapples down (in my second cake, I had lots of batters) and added the cherries, for a more traditional upside-down pineapple cake.
  • Pour the cake mix (prepared) directly over it.
  • Place the cake (uncooked) into the air fryer basket, bake for 320 degrees F, for 25 minutes. Once the timer goes off, use a toothpick and stick it directly in the middle to see if it’s cooked or not. If it’s cook, remove. If it does not add another 5 minutes. Until it’s cooked in the middle.
  • Let cool, before you flip it.
