Steps

1Prep. Preheat the oven to 350º F.
2Prepare the topping: Pour melted butter into a 9-inch cake pan or 10-inch cast iron skillet. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the butter. Arrange pineapple slices on top. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each ring. Add extra cherries in any gaps if desired.
3Make the cake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk buttermilk, melted butter, pineapple juice, eggs, and vanilla. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined. Fold in chopped pineapple pieces.
4Assemble and bake: Pour batter over the pineapple topping and spread evenly. Bake 45–60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You can follow my tips for how to tell when your cake is done.
5Cool and flip: Remove from oven and let rest 5–10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, place a serving plate or cake stand on top, and carefully invert the cake. Lift the pan slowly.
