Ingredients
Scale
- 50g butter
- 100g brown sugar
- 8 slices fresh pineapple (or canned, drained well)
- 8 candied cherries (optional, for decoration)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C and coat a round mold (20 cm in diameter) with parchment paper.

- Pour the batter over the pineapple slices in the mold, smoothing the surface.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the mold for 10 minutes, then flip onto a serving plate.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
