Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • ½ cup butter

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 1 (20 ounce) can sliced pineapple

  • 10 maraschino cherries, halved

  • 1 cup sifted cake flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon almond extract


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Melt 1/2 cup butter over very low heat in a 10-inch heavy skillet with a heat-resistant handle or a cast iron pan. Remove from heat; sprinkle brown sugar evenly into the skillet. Arrange pineapple slices to cover the bottom of the skillet. Distribute cherries around pineapples; set aside.

  3. Fold 1 tablespoon melted butter and almond extract into batter, then spread batter evenly over pineapple in the skillet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Loosen cake edges with a table knife. Cool cake for 5 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
