I have been making this recipe for over thirty years. I use my old trusty cast-skillet to bake this cake. It will caramelize the brown sugar just right.

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 350°. Put butter slices evenly in the bottom of a 9-10"cast-iron skillet. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Arrange pineapple rings on top. Put a cherry in each pineapple ring.
2

In a small bowl, combine flour and baking powder.
3

In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs. Gradually add granulated sugar to mixture, then mix in water. Add dry ingredients, mixing well.

Pour batter over the pineapple rings in the skillet. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove cake while it is still hot by inverting the skillet onto a cake plate. Serve with whipped cream.
