Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven and Pan

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the bottom.

  2. 2

    Arrange Pineapple

    Drain the pineapple slices and arrange them over the brown sugar in the pan. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.

  3. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  4. 4

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and remaining granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  6. 6

    Pour Batter

    Pour the batter over the arranged pineapple slices in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.

  7. 7

    Bake the Cake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
