Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet, 9-inch cake pan, or 9-inch springform pan.
Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Pat pineapple rings and cherries dry with paper towels.
In pan, mix ¾ cup brown sugar, ⅛ tsp salt, and 6 tbsp melted butter. Press pineapple and cherries into the mixture.
In a bowl, whisk gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if added), milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Beat 200g granulated sugar into 84g room-temperature butter until creamy. Mix in eggs and pineapple juice.
Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until smooth.
Pour batter over pineapple layer. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden and toothpick-c clean.
Cool completely in pan for 1 hour. Invert onto serving plate. Let cure 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs for better aeration.
If maraschino cherries contain alcohol, substitute with halal/non-alcoholic gummy cherries.
Xanthan gum may be omitted if flour blend already contains it.
For best caramelization, pat pineapple and cherries thoroughly dry.
