## Instructions

### 1. Prepare the pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or a 12-cup muffin tin for individual cakes.

Pour melted butter into the bottom of your pan(s), then sprinkle brown sugar evenly over it. Place a pineapple ring (or half for muffin tins) on top of the sugar, and set a cherry in the center of each.

### 2. Make the cake batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with milk or pineapple juice, until the batter is smooth.

### 3. Assemble and bake

Spoon the batter over the pineapple slices, smoothing the tops. Bake for 25–35 minutes, depending on size, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

### 4. Cool and flip

Let cakes cool for 5–10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a plate or cooling rack. Let gravity (and that glorious caramel) do the rest!
