Ingredients

Topping:

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
7 slices canned pineapple (reserve 1/2 cup juice for cake)
13 candied cherries

Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice
Whipped Cream, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease sides of a 9 by 3-inch round baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

For topping: Beat the melted butter and brown sugar together in a small bowl. Spread mix over the bottom of prepared baking pan. Arrange 6 pineapple slices around the edge of the pan and 1 in the middle. Place a cherry in the middle of each ring, and the rest between slices at the edges.

For the Cake: Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger and cloves in a large bowl. In another large bowl, beat together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs 1at a time. Using a spatula, alternately fold in the flour mixture and the heavy cream and pineapple juice until blended. Spread batter over the pineapple slices and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool in pan for 5 minutes. Then run a metal spatula around the edge to loosen cake, invert a serving plate over the cake pan, and turn cake and plate over together. Remove cake from the pan, and serve the cake warm, with whipped cream.
