How to Make Cherry Caramel Ring Microwave

  1. Grease an 8-inch round microwave-safe dish with cooking spray.
  2. Place 2 tablespoons of butter in the prepared dish. Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds, or until melted.
  3. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the melted butter.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of light corn syrup and stir well to combine with the melted butter and sugar.
  5. Place a small, heat-safe glass in the center of the dish to create a ring.
  6. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped pecans and 1/2 cup of drained, halved maraschino cherries around the outside of the glass.
  7. Arrange 8 refrigerated biscuits around the outside of the glass, pressing gently to fit them together in a ring shape.
  8. Microwave on medium power for 6-8 minutes, rotating the dish halfway through the cooking time (after 3 minutes).
  9. Carefully remove the glass from the center of the cake.
  10. Invert the cake onto a serving plate. Let it stand for a few minutes to allow the caramel topping to drizzle down.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!
