American 30 Mins Prep · 90 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Grease and line a 22cm cake tin.
- Peel the pineapple and slice into 1cm-thick slices. Using a 2cm-round cookie cutter, cut out the centre of each slice to form a ring.
- Combine 110g of the sugar and water in a medium-sized pot placed over a medium heat and stir to dissolve. Add in the pineapple rings, bring to a gentle boil and cook for approx. 15 minutes or until tender. Remove from the syrup and set aside.
- Place the pineapple rounds over the base of the cake tin along with 3 tablespoons of the syrup. Place the cherries in the centre of the pineapple rings as well as a few scattered around.
- Combine the butter and the rest of the sugar in an electric mixer. Mix for approx. 10 minutes or until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add in the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, ground almonds and buttermilk. Mix on a low speed until just combined.
- Pour the batter over the pineapple rings and place in the oven for approx. 45 minutes. Cover loosely with foil and bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly before unmoulding.
- Serve with the leftover syrup.
