Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until fully incorporated.
-
In the prepared cake pan, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bottom. Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the sugar, placing a cherry in the center of each slice and sprinkling the pecans around.
-
Carefully pour the cake batter over the pineapple layer, spreading it out evenly to cover all the fruit.
-
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake before inverting it onto a serving plate. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
