Easy Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Directions

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

   Beat biscuit baking mix, white sugar, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg together in a large bowl on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly.
6. 6
   Increase mixer speed to medium and continue beating until batter is smooth, about 4 minutes more.

   Slowly pour batter over the pineapple mixture.
8. 8
   Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

   Run a paring knife between the cake and the edge of the pan to loosen cake. Cover the cake pan with a plate, and invert it to flip the cake out of the pan and onto the plate. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
