Ingredients
  

For the Topping:
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • 1 can pineapple slices drained
  • Maraschino cherries
For the Cake:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Topping: Melt butter with brown sugar in a skillet. Arrange pineapple slices and cherries on top. Set aside.
  2. Make the Cake Batter: Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream sugar and butter, add eggs and vanilla. Alternately mix in dry ingredients and milk.
  3. Assemble: Pour batter over the pineapple topping in the skillet.
  4. Bake: At 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then invert onto a plate.

Notes

  • Fresh pineapple can be used instead of canned for a more vibrant flavor.
  • Ensure to let the cake cool slightly before inverting to prevent it from breaking.
