Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 6 maraschino cherries
Special Equipment Needed:
- 9-inch round cake pan
- Rotisserie spit
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk.
4. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the batter and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.
5. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Once the cake is cooled, place it on the rotisserie spit and turn on the rotisserie. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and crispy.
