“My gramma used to bake cakes and pies during the Depression and my grampa would sell them door-to-door and on the street corners to support them during that awful time. This is one of my favorites.”
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 8 pineapple rings
- 8 pecan halves
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar; heat until bubbly. Remove from heat. Arrange pineapple rings and pecans on top.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; repeat sifting twice more.
- Beat white sugar and eggs together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Alternate folding flour mixture and pineapple juice into the egg mixture in 3 batches, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Pour over pineapple slices.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the skillet for 5 minutes. Invert carefully onto a serving platter.
