Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the rack in the center position.
-
In a 9-inch round cake pan, melt the butter by placing it in the oven for a couple of minutes. Once melted, remove it from the oven.
-
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter in the cake pan.
-
Arrange the drained pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice. You can also place additional cherries in the gaps between the slices if desired.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Pour the batter over the pineapple slices in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
-
To invert the cake onto a serving plate, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Place a plate over the pan and carefully flip it over. Remove the pan, and the cake should release onto the plate with the pineapple slices on top.
