How to Make
-
Prepare the Topping:
Grease a large bundt pan or tube pan. Pour melted butter and brown sugar into the bottom. Arrange pineapple slices neatly over the mixture. -
Make the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. -
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until smooth. Stir in vanilla and crushed pineapple. -
Assemble the Cake:
Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple topping in the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. -
Bake:
Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 75–90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. -
Cool and Flip:
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Allow to cool completely before slicing. -
Serve:
Enjoy your slice of paradise as is, or add a cream cheese filling or drizzle for an extra indulgent touch.
