Granny's Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

This is a recipe handed down from my great grandmother to my mom to me. It has been a while since we made it, but it is very, very tasty!

1/2 cups margarine or butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 can pineapple, drained
walnut halves
maraschino cherries
1 package (18.5 oz) yellow cake mix with pudding

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Heat margarine in a 13X9X2 pan in oven until melted. Sprinkle brown sugar over margarine . Arrange pineapple on top. Decorate with walnut halves and cherries. Prepare cake mix as directed and pour batter over pineapple in pan. Bake until cake springs back when touched lightly in center, about 45 to 55 minutes. Immediately invert pan on heat proof serving platter. Remove pan; cool cake completely. Top each serving with sweetened whipped cream if desired.
