Servings

• 1.5 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 2 scoop Protein Powder
• 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 can Canned Pineapple Slices

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

4. Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar mixture, placing a maraschino cherry in the center of each slice.
5. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
7. Pour the batter over the pineapple slices in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a serving plate, allowing the pineapple slices to be on top.
