ingredients

1.25 cup Piña Reàl

Makes one 12-inch single layer cake

12 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided

1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

7 slices canned pineapple, juice reserved

13 maraschino cherries

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Melt 4 Tablespoons butter over medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Remove from heat and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter. Arrange pineapple rings around the bottom of the pan, one layer deep. Place a cherry into the center of each pineapple ring.

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices in a bowl. Beat the remaining 8 Tablespoons butter with the eggs, cream, pineapple juice, and 1 cup Piña Reàl together in a separate bowl. Combine the two and mix until smooth.

Pour the batter over the pineapple layer, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 30–40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Run a knife around the edge to loosen, then carefully invert onto a serving plate.
