Melt a stick of butter in a heavy cast iron skillet. Then add 1 cup of brown sugar and bring this to a boil. Take a large (around 16 oz.) can of crushed pineapple and drain it well, reserving the juice. Then add the pineapple to the skillet and mix well. Let this continue to simmer on low heat.
Meanwhile, separate 3 eggs and to the yolks add 1 cup of white sugar and beat well and add 1 cup of the reserved pineapple juice. Then mix in 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 tsp. baking powder.
In a separate bowl, beat the 3 egg whites till stiff. Then fold into the batter mixture. Spread this over the pineapple and bake at 375 F for about 25 to 35 minutes. Let stand to cool in the skillet and invert on to a cake plate. Keep away from large dogs.
Enjoy!
Thanks, Lisa! You are becoming my recipe connection. This looks and sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteLetha,
DeleteYou are most welcome. I can't believe that is the only picture I could find. That damn Ernest T. Bass just helped himself to the good part all around the edge of the cake. I had to throw it out and start over.
Thanks Lisa! Carol in Mpls here. I love pineapple, so this recipe sounds perfect. I think we are having TX weather, which I don't much like. Too humid for me. Ciao.
ReplyDeleteCarol,
DeleteI myself have lived in Mpls and loved it. I would move back in a heartbeat! Might be the best weather and distinct seasons I have ever enjoyed.
Thank you, Lisa. This sounds great. I had to laugh at the keep away from large dogs instruction. A few weeks ago, I made a pineapple-orange cake for my boss's birthday. It was cooling on the counter and when I went to frost it, I found that my very large dog had taken a HUGE bite out of one of the layers. My boss got a 2 layer cake instead of a 3 layer cake.
