A delightful twist on a classic dessert, offering a deliciously moist cake crowned with caramelized pineapple rings and cherries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (for topping)
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 8–10 pineapple rings (canned or fresh)
- Maraschino cherries (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter in your baking pan directly over low heat or by placing it in the warm oven. Once melted, sprinkle the packed light brown sugar over the butter.
