2. Pour the melted butter over the bottom of 2 9-inch layer pans.
3. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter.
4. Place the pineapple halves and cherries to form a design on top of the brown sugar. Place the pecans into the pineapple design where ever you like, creating the design as you go.
5. Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the package. Pour half of batter evenly over the fruit in each pan.
6. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
