Ingredients

Preparation method

• Preheat oven to 350º.
• Melt 4 tbsp of butter into cast iron skillet or round cake pan. Swirl pan until bottom and sides are well-coated with butter to prevent cake from sticking.
• Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the melted butter in the skillet or cake pan.
• Place pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar. Add maraschino cherries to the center of each pineapple slice.
• Separate egg whites and whip until soft peaks
• Mix sugar, AP flour, baking soda, salt together in a separate bowl
• Add  buttermilk, 4 tbsp melted butter, eggs yolks and whisk together until well-combined.
• Fold in whipped egg whites
• Pour evenly over the pineapple, cherry, and brown sugar layer in the skillet or cake pan.
• Cook until toothpick or skewer inserted in the center comes our clean. Should take 30-45 mins
• Allow to stand for about 10-12 minutes before transferring to a cake stand. Allowing to sit too less will break cake. Allowing to sit too long will harden the sugar in the bottom
