How To Make pineapple upside down cake

• Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. To make the cake, grease a 10 or 11-inch cast iron skillet with vegetable shortening.
• Step 2
  In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside for a few minutes.
• Step 3
  Using a stand mixer or a handheld mixer on medium speed, cream the butter and sugar together for about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.
• Step 4
  Add the flour mixture in several intervals, alternating with the pineapple juice and the milk. Mix just until combined scraping down the bowl and beater as needed.
• Step 5
  Meanwhile, make the topping by melting the butter in a 10 or 11-inch cast iron skillet in the oven. It only takes about 5 minutes, so keep an eye on it. Sprinkle in the brown sugar as evenly as possible. Top with a single layer of pineapple slices and fill in the spaces with maraschino cherries.
• Step 6
  Gently pour the cake batter over the top and bake for 30 minutes. Then tent the pan loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Step 7
  Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Let the cake cool for 2-3 hours before slicing and serving.
