Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.

Step 2

Combine the brown sugar and butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until the brown sugar has melted. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until it starts to turn to caramel.

Combine the egg with the next six ingredients (egg yolk through melted butter).

Stir with a whisk until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 7

Measure the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Make a wall in the center and egg the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.

Step 8

Pour the batter over the pineapple and bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.

Step 9

Cool slightly in the pan before carefully turning the cake out onto a serving plate. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Or just plain.
