A nostalgic dessert filled with sweet memories, featuring caramelized pineapple slices over a light and fluffy cake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices
  • Maraschino cherries
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and let the warmth build in anticipation of the deliciousness to come.
  2. Melt the butter in a round cake pan, just enough to create a lovely base for the sugar.
  3. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter, creating a deliciously sweet layer that will caramelize as it bakes.
  4. Arrange the pineapple slices over the brown sugar mixture, and place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice for that pop of color and flavor.
  5. Mix the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, ensuring everything is well combined.
  6. Whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy in another bowl.
  7. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just smooth, taking care not to overmix.
  8. Pour the cake batter over the pineapple layer in the pan, spreading it evenly.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool the cake for about 10 minutes in the pan, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.

Notes

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. For a tropical flair, sprinkle toasted coconut on top.
