Ingredients
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar
- 9 pineapple slices
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs separated
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup pineapple juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 9 Maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In an ungreased 9-inch square baking pan, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, spreading it into an even layer. Arrange the 9 pineapple slices in a single layer over the sugar mixture.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks on medium speed until thick and pale yellow, about 3 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, beating well until completely incorporated. Add the pineapple juice and vanilla extract, and blend to combine.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture, and beat until just combined.
- In a clean medium bowl with clean beaters, beat the egg whites on medium-low speed until frothy, then gradually increase to medium-high speed and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture until no white streaks remain.
- Spoon the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly over the pineapple slices. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 28 to 32 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then invert the pan onto a serving dish. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.
Notes
- Use a 20-ounce can of sliced pineapple for this recipe - you will have enough slices for the cake, and enough juice needed for the batter, as well.
