Ingredients

Scale

Topping

  • 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 6–7 pineapple rings (canned or fresh)
  • Maraschino cherries (optional, for the center of each pineapple ring)

Cake Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) pineapple juice (from the canned pineapple)

Instructions

  1. Topping: Grease your cake pan, then pour the melted butter into the bottom and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over it. Arrange the pineapple slices on top and place a cherry in the center of each slice if using.
  2. Cake Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla. Combine the milk and pineapple juice. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the juice mixture, starting and ending with the dry. Mix until just combined.
  3. Baking: Pour the batter over the arranged pineapples and smooth the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cooling: Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a plate. Allow to cool before slicing.

Notes

  • For a more intense pineapple flavor, consider adding a bit of pineapple extract to the batter.
  • Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
