Serving: 8-10 pieces | Type: Dessert/Baked
Ingredients:
Unsalted butter | -½ cup |
Light brown sugar, packed | -3/4 cup |
Pineapple round slices | -1 20-ounce can |
Maraschino Cherries | -8-10 pieces |
All-purpose flour | -1 cup |
Granulated sugar | -1 cup |
Baking powder | -2 tps |
Egg | -1 |
Homemade yogurt | -1/2 cup |
Sour cream | -1/3 cup |
Vegetable oil | -3 tbsp |
Vanilla extract | -2 tsp |
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for about 1 minute.
- Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch cake pan. Use your finger to run a bit of butter around the side of the pan so it’s well-greased.
- Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter.
- Add 1 whole pineapple slice to the center of the pan.
- Halve the remaining slices vertically. Stagger them in a fan-like fashion going around the cake.
- Place the remaining slices around the sides of the cake pan with the curved side pointing down toward the bottom of the pan.
- Place 1 cherry in the center of the whole pineapple slice in the middle of the pan.
- Place 1 cherry in the center of the whole pineapple slice. Then cut the rest of the cherries in half and place in the center of each fanned pineapple slices; set pan aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt; set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, sour cream, vegetable oil and vanilla.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry, mixing lightly with a spoon or folding with a spatula until just combined. Small lumps will be present, don’t overmix or try to stir them smooth.
- Gently pour the batter out into cake pan, being careful to not disturb the pineapple slices.
- Place pan on a cookie sheet (to catch anything that does overflow) and bake for about 40 minutes, or until center is set and not jiggly, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Only go down about 1-inch with the toothpick, not all the way to the bottom where you’ll hit gooey pineapple juice.
- Place pan on a wire rack and allow cake to cool for at least 30 minutes before inverting, slicing, and serving.
