Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick butter, melted
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1 can(s) sliced pineapple, 20 ounce size
CAKE:
1 stick butter, softened
2 large eggs at room temperature
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 c self-rising flour, sifted first, then measured
1/2 c whole milk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. In a cast iron skillet or other oven-proof skillet, melt one stick of butter. Remove from heat and evenly sprinkle brown sugar. Spread pineapple slices over the brown sugar. This may not take the entire can. I usually have a couple of slices left over. Set aside.
  • 3. Cream together softened butter, eggs, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix well.
  • 4. Add flour alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix this by hand, do not use a mixer at this point. Once flour and milk have been incorporated into the creamed mixture, use the mixer for just about 10 seconds.
  • 5. Spoon batter over pineapples and smooth out with spatula. Bake for about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and loosen sides with a small knife. Remove cake by flipping the pan over onto a serving plate. HINT: I usually line a pizza pan with parchment paper and flip my pan over onto the pizza pan. When my cake is cooled, I carefully transfer it over to a serving plate. This reduces the chance that I'll miss the plate when flipping out of the pan.
  • 6. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.

This cake is so easy to make and it always turns out delicious. The pineapple topping is my favorite part. It's caramelized and gooey, and it pairs perfectly with the moist cake.

I've tried this recipe twice now and both times the cake turned out perfectly. It's moist and flavorful, and the pineapple topping is caramelized to perfection. I love that it's a one-bowl recipe, which makes it really easy to make.

This cake was a disappointment. The pineapple topping was not caramelized and the cake was dry and crumbly. I would not recommend this recipe.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. The pineapple topping was caramelized nicely, but the cake itself was a bit dry.
