Pineapple Upside Down Cake

This recipe comes from my  Betty Crocker Cookbook: Everything You Need to Know to Cook Today, 10th Edition . I love that cookbook! My mom made this in her skillet! Absolutely delicious!

1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 20-oz. can sliced pineapple in juice, drained
Maraschino cherries without stem, if desired
1 1/3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 large egg
Whipped cream, if desired

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt butter in 10-inch oven proof skillet or square pan, 9X9X2, in oven. Sprinkle brown sugar over butter. Arrange pineapple on brown sugar, cutting  one or more slices into pieces if necessary. Place cherry in center of pineapple rings.

Beat remaining ingredients except whipped cream on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Then beat on high speed for 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over pineapple.

Bake in skillet for 45-50 minutes, square pan for 50-55 minutes, until center comes out clean.

IMMEDIATELY turn upside down onto heatproof plate. Let skillet or pan remain over cake for a few minutes so brown sugar topping can drizzle over cake.

Cool 15 minutes. Serve warm with whipped topping.
