• ¼ cup butter
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

• 1 ½ cups biscuit baking mix (such as Bisquick®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

Step 3

Melt butter in a 9-inch baking pan in the preheating oven. Remove pan.

Step 4

Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter.

Step 5

Arrange pineapple chunks in a single layer over the butter and brown sugar, then sprinkle with pecans; set aside.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Increase mixer speed to medium and continue beating until batter is smooth, about 4 minutes more.

Step 8

Slowly pour batter over the pineapple mixture.

Step 9

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.
