Ingredients

Caramelized layer:

Cake:

Instructions

  • Place the pineapple slices on a plate lined with a couple of paper towels so as to get rid of excess pineapple juices.
  • Place the cherries on a plate lined with a few paper towels too so as to get rid of excess syrup and juices.
  • Melt butter in the microwave and pour it into your 9 inch springform pan. Use your fingers to spread the butter over the entire pan.
  • Sprinkle brown sugar on top of the butter.
  • Arrange the pineapple slices and maraschino cherries on top of the brown sugar.

Cake:

  • In a mixing bowl, add egg, yogurt, buttermilk, olive oil, vanilla extract and orange extract and mix everything thoroughly.
  • Add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and mix until just combined. You might see some lumps. Don’t worry about them and don’t over-mix!
  • Gently, pour this batter on top of your arranged pineapple slices.
  • Use the back of a spoon or spatula to spread the batter evenly in the pan. Be very careful not to move the pineapples or cherries.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  • Let this cake cool down to room temperature. Then, remove the springform attachment and flip this cake gently onto your cake stand. Enjoy!
