Recipe
TOPPING:
Grease the bottom and sides of a 10-inch round cake pan. Arrange pineapple pieces in a single layer in the bottom of the cake pan; set aside. Bring remaining topping ingredients to boil in a small saucepan and then, simmer until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Pour this mixture over the pineapple; set aside.
FOR THE CAKE:
Sift first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then beat in vanilla extract. Alternately beat in dry ingredients and sour cream, one-third at a time.
TO COOK:
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees F. Pour batter over "topping" in pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Transfer cake in pan to a wire rack; cool 10 minutes.
TO SERVE:
Run a sharp knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the pan. Then invert pan onto a cake plate; remove pan. Cut cake into wedges and serve.
