Creating a delicious Pineapple Upside-Down Cake involves a few simple steps. Follow this guide for success:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Pan: Melt the butter in a 9-inch round cake pan over low heat. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter.

3. Arrange Pineapple: Place the drained pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar. You can also place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring for a beautiful presentation.

4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, reserved pineapple juice, eggs, and vanilla extract.

6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until smooth and well combined.

7. Pour Batter: Carefully pour the batter over the arranged pineapple and cherries in the cake pan.

8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool Down: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. This makes the cake easier to remove.

10. Flip the Cake: Place a serving plate over the pan and carefully flip it to release the cake.

11. Serve Warm: Slice and serve your Pineapple Upside-Down Cake while it’s still warm, allowing everyone to enjoy the delightful flavors.
