- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until it melts and forms a caramel. Remove from heat.
-
Arrange the pineapple rings on top of the caramel in the skillet. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, combine the pineapple juice, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix well.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Carefully pour the batter over the pineapple and caramel in the skillet, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Then, place a serving plate upside down on top of the skillet and carefully flip the cake onto the plate.

Serve warm and enjoy!
