Pineapple Cake - Sugar Free!

Hungry girl yet again. I made this cake for my moms birthday because she doesn't eat sugar either. And it turned out very rich, gooey, and delicious!
What you need...
Topping
1 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread
1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend (not packed) (or regular brown sugar if you eat sugar)
7 pineapple rings packed in juice, drained
7 maraschino cherries

Cake
Half of an 18.25-oz. box (about 1 1/2 cups) moist-style sugar free yellow cake mix
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup club soda
1/4 cup no-sugar-added applesauce

How to make it...
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a round cake pan with nonstick spray and set aside.

Place butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 15 seconds, just until melted. Add brown sugar and mix well. Spread mixture evenly along the bottom of the cake pan. Set aside.

Blot pineapple rings and cherries with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Lay pineapple rings in an even layer in the cake pan, and place one cherry in the center of each pineapple ring. Set aside.

To make the batter, combine cake mix with baking powder in a large bowl. Mix well. Add club soda and applesauce, and stir until smooth.

Evenly pour batter into the cake pan over the fruit layer. Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 - 35 minutes.

Allow cake to cool completely. Firmly and securely place a plate over the pan, and carefully flip so the plate is on the bottom. Gently lift pan to release the cake.

Cut into 8 slices.
