    • 🍍 7 (1/4 inch thick) rings fresh pineapple

  • Cake Batter

    • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
    • ⅓ cup almond flour
    • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon cornstarch
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
    • 🍚 1 ¾ cups white sugar
    • 🧈 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 🥚 4 large eggs
    • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.

2

Melt ½ cup butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar, stirring until just dissolved. Cook until bubbling, about 2 minutes. Pour into the prepared pan.

3

Arrange pineapple in a single layer of diagonal rows over the brown sugar mixture.

4

Whisk together both flours, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl.

5

Beat together white sugar and 1 cup butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Beat in 1/2 of the flour mixture, followed by 1/2 of the sour cream; repeat.

6

Spread batter over pineapple in the pan.

7

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 65 to 70 minutes.

8

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto a platter.
