In a 9-inch round cake pan, melt the unsalted butter in the oven. Once melted, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter.

Place the pineapple rings on top of the brown sugar and butter mixture. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Baking
Pour Batter
Pour the cake batter evenly over the arranged pineapple and cherries in the cake pan.
Bake the Cake
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool and Invert
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.
