Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (1/2 a stick) butter
- 2/3 cup packed Dark Brown Sugar
- Pineapple slices ( enough to cover the pan)
- Maraschino Cherries ( at least one for every pineapple slice)
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350º.
- In a 9 inch square pan melt butter in the oven. Once the butter is melted sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter. Arrange the pineapple slices over the brown sugar and place a cherry in the center of each slice( you can add more cherries if you wish).
- In a mixer bowl beat the remaining ingredients on low speed until combined. Once combined mix on medium speed for about 3 minutes ( scraping down the sides) until all is smooth and completely combined.
- Pour the batter over the pineapple and cherries and even to edges.
- Bake for 50 – 55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Immediately place a heat proof plate over the pan and invert leaving the pan on the cake for a few minutes so that the brown sugar can drizzle over the cake. Remove cake pan and serve warm. Store cake loosely covered. Serve plain or embellish with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
