Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Pour melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange pineapple rings in 2 rows in the baking dish.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  6. Cover the baking dish with a large serving plate and invert cake onto the plate so pineapple slices face up.
