Excellent! I used no-salt butter instead of margarine (I didn't have enough margarine on hand) and when I first turned it out on the serving plate I thought the brown sugar topping was going to be a little mushy, but when it cooled down it was just perfect. Came out of the skillet very slick and was absolutely gorgeous. I added a couple of tablespoons of maraschino cherry juice to the cake mix which pinked it up a little and helped carry the cherry flavor throughout. Thanks!

Oh, Java, this was soooo good! Followed directions exactly, except I had a couple of pineapple slices so cut them into small pieces and put in the cake batter. It came out of the skillet as slick as a whistle and looked beautiful. It was a big, big hit with our weekly card get-together. Had to give out the recipe. Thank you for posing it.
