Spiced Rum Pineapple Upside Down Cake

"A super easy recipe for the fluffy, decadent pineapple upside down cake with the rich flavor of spiced rum. No one will ever know you use a cake mix unless you tell them! I like the texture of the crushed pineapple so much better than the whole rings that usually make the cake around them gummy and wet, with crushed pineapple every bite is filled with the sweet, subtle flavor of the pineapple."
