- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and sprinkle brown sugar evenly on the bottom.
- Arrange the drained pineapple rings over the brown sugar in the pan and place a maraschino cherry in the center of each ring.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually combine with the wet mixture while alternating with milk until smooth.
