Ingredients
Preparation
Directions:
Melt butter in a 9 or 10 inch round glass pie pan or ovenproof skillet. Add brown sugar on top of butter. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/3 cup of the juice. Arrange 8 pineapple slices in a single layer over sugar. Place cherries in center of pineapple slices. If desired, sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans over pineapple. (Not in Mama's original recipe.)
In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Blend in vanilla and reserved pineapple juice. Combine flour, baking powder and salt, add to batter, beating well.
In a small bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form, fold into batter. Pour over pineapple slices.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before inverting onto serving plate.
