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!
