Ingredients

Servings

• 1 can Pineapple slices
• 1 jar Maraschino cherries
• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Brown sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Arrange the pineapple slices in the bottom of the pan, placing a maraschino cherry in the center of each slice.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
6. Pour the batter over the pineapple slices in the cake pan, smoothing the top.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate.
9. While the cake is still warm, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top. Let the cake cool completely.
10. Serve the Upside-Down Sunshine Cake with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
