Recipe
Preheat oven to 350° F. Mix brown sugar and 1/3 cup butter in a bowl. Stir
in
1 teaspoon vanilla and cinnamon. Spread evenly over the bottom of an
ungreased 9" cast iron skillet or a 9" x 9" baking pan. Heat until the
brown
sugar melts.
Arrange pineapple slices over the brown sugar mixture. Place a cherry half
in
the middle of each slice. Beat egg yolks in a mixer bowl until thickened.
Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating constantly until blended.
Mix flour, baking powder and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add
shortening, 1/4 cup butter, pineapple juice, half and half, buttermilk and
1
teaspoon vanilla. Beat until blended, scraping the bowl occasionally. Mix
in
egg yolk mixture. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites.
Spoon the batter into the prepared skillet. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes or
until
a cake tester comes out clean. Invert the skillet onto a serving platter,
allowing the skillet to rest on the cake for several minutes before
removing.
