Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt butter in a 9-inch round cake pan. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the melted butter.
Arrange pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar, and place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, cream together sugar, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Pour batter evenly over the pineapple and cherries in the cake pan.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm.

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
