I was a little nervous on this one, I’m not going to lie! I actually had the guts to go on Facebook live (Facebook live recording HERE) and make this recipe before ever even trying it out first. That’s usually how I roll around here. I figure if I can be your guinea pig, why not! Makes life fun and interesting for me. Today I am sharing how to make a pineapple cream cheese upside-down cake in the Instant Pot.
It All Started When I Cleaned Out My Cabinets
It all started when I cleaned out my cabinets and I came across this recipe I tore out of a magazine around 6 years ago. Obviously never getting around to trying it. Happens to be the perfect time of year to try a pineapple cream cheese upside-down cake don’t you think?
Ingredients
For this recipe, you don’t need a whole of ingredients. Brown sugar, cream cheese, pineapple rings, maraschino cherries, a cake mix, and some jello. Interesting combination.
I tweaked the original recipe to adapt to the 7-inch Springform pan.
Of course, my Tiffany blue pan is perfect for the recipe.

This little experiment cake turned out AWESOME!~ My family loved it. I cheated and took a sliver and have to admit, I went for another 🙂
