    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.
