Ingredients
- 1/2 Tasse Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 Tasse Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Dose (425 g) Canned pineapple slices, drained
- 8-10 Stück Maraschino cherries, halved
- 1 1/2 Tassen All-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 Teelöffel Baking powder
- 1/2 Teelöffel Salt
- 1/2 Tasse Unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 Tasse Granulated sugar
- 2 Stück Large eggs
- 1 Teelöffel Vanilla extract
- 1/2 Tasse Milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking pan with parchment paper.
- Pour melted butter and brown sugar into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Arrange pineapple slices on top, placing cherries in the center of each pineapple ring.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture alternately with the milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
- Carefully spread the batter evenly over the pineapple and cherries in the pan.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then place a serving plate on top of the pan and carefully invert the cake. Remove the parchment paper.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
