Gingerbread Cake with Caramelized Pineapple and Rum Cream image

My daughter's 'nona' (Godmother) is mad about gingerbread. I found this recipe at ivillage and am making it for her next visit. Gingerbread Cake tastes better the next day, so don't hesitate to prepare it ahead. Caramelized Pineapple can also be make in advance and reheated just before serving.
