Ingredients
10 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided1 c. dark brown sugar1/4 c. natural pineapple juice 6 whole pineapple rings3 maraschino cherries, halved1/2 c. milk (1% used for nutrition info)1 egg 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour2 tsp. baking powder1/2 tsp. salt1/2 c. granulated sugar
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 C). Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in an ovenproof skillet or an 8- or 9-inch cake pan. Stir in the brown sugar and continue to stir over low heat for 2 minutes. Add the pineapple juice and continue stirring until sugar dissolves; remove from heat. Arrange the pineapple rings in one layer in the pan (1 in the center, surrounded by the other 5), and the cherry halves cut-side up into the center of the rings; set aside.
Melt the remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a small pan. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk and egg, beating well. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl, then add the milk-egg mixture and beat until smooth. Pour over the pineapple slices and bake for 25-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn over onto a plate, fruit side up. Leave pan in place for a few minutes longer, to allow any remaining sauce to drip down the cake.
Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
