📝 Preparation Steps
1
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. To the bottom of a 9-inch round by 2-inch tall cake pan (see note 1), add 4 tablespoons butter.
2
Place pan in preheated oven and heat butter until melted, about 2 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Brush butter up sides of pan.
3
Sprinkle brown sugar over the melted butter, then stir to combine. Pat brown sugar mixture into an even layer.
4
Arrange pineapple slices in a single layer over brown sugar mixture. Add one cherry to the center of each pineapple ring. Add more cherries if desired (for decoration).
5
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In an electric mixer on medium speed, or by hand using an electric mixer, cream together remaining 8 tablespoons of butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and light, about 3 to ⏱️ 6 minutes.
6
One at a time, beat in the eggs and egg white. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce speed to low.
7
Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and beat until incorporated. Add 1/2 milk and beat until incorporated. Repeat with 1/3 of dry mixture, then milk. Add remaining dry mixture and mix until incorporated (batter will be thick).
8
Pour batter over the pineapple and smooth top. Gently tap the pan on counter to remove any air bubbles and settle the batter.
9
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with few, moist crumbs attached, about 45 to ⏱️ 50 minutes. Rotate pan halfway through to ensure even baking.
10
Allow cake to cool in pan ⏱️ 10 minutes. Place a large plate or serving platter on top of cake pan, turn plate and pan over (careful; the pan will still be warm). Allow cake to release itself onto the platter, about ⏱️ 1 minute, without shaking or tapping the pan. Remove pan and allow cake to cool completely, about ⏱️ 2 hours.
