Ingredients
Before you start, gather the following ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 can sliced pineapples (in juice or syrup)
- Maraschino cherries (for garnish, optional)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let’s get baking!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 9-inch round cake pan, melt 1/4 cup of butter in the oven.
- Once melted, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter. Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the sugar and add a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice if desired.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, until just combined.
- Pour the cake batter over the pineapple and brown sugar layer in the cake pan. Smooth it out with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm, and enjoy!
