Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 pineapple slice
- 1 maraschino cherry
- 1 tablespoon salted butter (softened to room temperature)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and generously butter a 10-ounce ramekin.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl. Stir in the brown sugar until well combined.
- Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture into a buttered 10-ounce oven-safe ramekin. Place the pineapple slice on top and set the cherry in the center of the pineapple.
- In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and stir just until combined. Pour in the milk and mix until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple. Bake for 30 minutes, until the cake is set and lightly golden on top.
- Let the cake cool in the ramekin for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge to loosen it.
- Place a plate over the ramekin, hold both together, and carefully invert the cake onto the plate. Lift off the ramekin and serve. Use oven mitts if the ramekin is still warm.
