Try substituting Italian prunes or cherries for pineapple in this cozy German dessert, perfect with a dollop of whipped cream.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (1/2 inch thick) slices fresh pineapple, quartered
  • 12 frozen cranberries
  • 0.66666668653488 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup milk
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • Combine brown sugar and melted butter in a bowl, then spread evenly on the bottom of the cake pan. Arrange pineapple pieces on top of the brown sugar mixture in a circular pattern, with two pieces in the center, all facing the same direction. Place a cranberry between each pineapple piece.
  • In a bowl, use an electric mixer to whip together white sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add baking powder, vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, and salt, then mix thoroughly.
  • Gradually incorporate 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup milk into the batter, stirring well after each addition until fully combined.
  • Spread the batter over pineapple slices, ensuring it fills the gaps. Use an offset spatula to evenly smooth out the surface.
  • Bake in the oven at the set temperature until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes.
  • After baking, allow the cake to cool for 15 to 20 minutes on a wire rack. Gently loosen the edges with a knife, place a plate over the pan, and swiftly invert the pan to release the cake onto the plate.
