Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple slices in juice, drained (reserve juice)
• Maraschino cherries (optional)

2. In a 9-inch round cake pan, melt the butter in the oven. Once melted, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter.
3. Arrange pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar in a single layer. You can place a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice if desired.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the pineapple juice and milk. Mix until just combined.
7. Pour the batter over the pineapple slices in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
