Grandma's Skillet Pineapple Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 (20 ounce) can sliced pineapple
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar cherries
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Collect all the necessary ingredients and prepare your baking space by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
Melt one stick of butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat, taking approximately 3 minutes to achieve this. Remove the skillet from the heat source and spread brown sugar evenly over the melted butter.
3
Add pineapple slices to the skillet in a visually appealing pattern, with a cherry placed at the center of each pineapple ring. Set the skillet aside for now.
4
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a single motion.
5
Using another bowl, cream together sugar and half a cup of butter until they form a smooth mixture. Add eggs to the bowl and mix well.
6
Gradually add the flour mixture and milk in an alternating fashion, ensuring a smooth and even consistency. Add vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until well combined.
7
Pour the cake mixture evenly over the pineapple slices in the skillet, creating a uniform layer.
8
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake until the cake is golden brown, taking around 40 minutes to achieve this. Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
