½ cup light brown sugar
3 fresh pineapple slices
3 maraschino cherries
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
1 ¼ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. kosher salt
½ cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 large eggs

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2 Coat a 9x2-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. 3 Melt 2 tbsp. of butter in a sauté pan and stir in the brown sugar until melted. Spread over the parchment paper. 4 Arrange pineapple slices in a single layer, and then place cherries between each slice and in the center. 5 In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 6 Using a mixer beat in the remaining 6 tbsp. of butter until the mixture looks sandy. 7 Beat in the milk, vanilla extract, and eggs on medium for 1 minute. 8 Spread the batter into the prepared pan. 9 Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. 10 Run a knife around the edge of the cake to release from the pan and invert the cake onto a large plate. 11 Remove the pan and parchment paper and let cool completely. 12 Serve with 1 scoop of ice cream, drizzle of caramel sauce and Tropical Food’s Banana Split®.
