Servings 8

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup coconut oil (solid)
  • one 8 oz can crushed pineapple
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Bottom of Cake

  • 6-7 slices pineapple (round)
  • 6-8 marachino cherries
  • 1 Tbsp butter melted
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Farenheight.

  2. Melt your coconut oil by popping it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then allow it to cool to room temp.

  3. In the meantime, grab an 8 inch cake pan and add your melted butter to the bottom of the pan. Spread around. Take two tablespoons of brown sugar and crumble it on top of the butter in an even layer.

  4. Add your pineapple slices in an even layer. If you can't fit all of your slices in the pan, feel free to cut your pineapple slices in half and add them at the edges of the cake.

  5. Add your cherries in the empty hole of each pineapple slice and in between slices. Feel free to add however many cherries you like.

  6. Time to work on the batter. Sift your dry ingredients and add to a bowl.

  7. In a separate bowl, work on your wet ingredients. First cream together your eggs and sugars with a whisk or electric mixer. Add your melted coconut oil to the batter. (Make sure it's cool before mixing.) Lastly add in your pineapple juice and vanilla + almond extracts. Combine everything with a spatula.

  8. Add in half your dry ingredients. Mix. Add the remaining half. Mix.

  9. Add your batter to the pan and place in oven. The cake should take about 45-50 minutes but may take more or less time depending on your oven. Always check by inserting a toothpick into the cake.

  10. Remove cake pan from oven and allow to cool on cooling rack for 30 minutes or so.

  11. Once cake is cooled to room temp., turn the pan upside down onto a cake platter. Your cake is ready to be served!
