    "This old-fashioned cake recipe delivers a really good take on the dessert classic: pineapple upside-down cake."

    Ingredients:
    2 eggs
    1/2 cup liquid egg substitute or 4 egg whites
    1/2 cup stick margarine or butter
    1 cup packed light brown sugar
    1 (20 ounce) can sliced pineapple
    10 maraschino cherries, halved
    1 cup sifted cake flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 cup white sugar
    1 tablespoon butter, melted
    1 teaspoon almond extract


    Directions:
    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

    2. In a 10-inch heavy skillet with a heat-resistant handle (I use a cast iron skillet), melt 1/2 cup butter over very low heat. Remove from heat, and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over pan. Arrange pineapple slices to cover bottom of skillet. Distribute cherries around pineapple; set aside.

    3. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.

    4. Separate the eggs into two bowls. In a large bowl, beat egg whites just until soft peaks form. Add granulated sugar gradually, beating well after each addition. Beat until medium-stiff peaks form. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks at high speed until very thick and yellow.

    With a wire whisk or rubber scraper, using an over-and-under motion, gently fold egg yolks and flour mixture into whites until blended. Fold in 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine and almond extract. Spread batter evenly over pineapple in skillet.

    5. Bake until surface springs back when gently pressed with fingertip and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Loosen the edges of the cake with table knife. Cool the cake for 5 minutes before inverting onto serving plate.
