Preparation time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 40 minutes | Total Time: 55 minutes | Serves: 8
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices, drained
- Maraschino cherries, for garnish
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the melted butter in a 9-inch round cake pan and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter.
- Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar, placing a cherry in the center of each slice.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.
- Pour the batter over the pineapple slices in the cake pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool for 5 minutes, then invert it onto a serving platter. Serve warm and enjoy!
