Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup whole milk
  • 1 can pineapple slices in juice, drained
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cup butter melted
  • 8 maraschino cherries

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a small saucepan, melt 0.25 cup butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar and mix until well combined. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch round cake pan, spreading evenly.
  • Place pineapple slices over the brown sugar mixture and place a cherry in the center of each slice.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the 1.5 cup sugar and melted butter until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Mix in the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Pour batter over the pineapple layer.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

Notes

This cake is best served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
