Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 10-inch (25cm) tube pan or Bundt pan and set it aside.
2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, salt, and 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.
3
Bring the sugar mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture turns a deep amber color.
4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully arrange the pineapple rings and cherries in the prepared pan. Pour the sugar mixture evenly over the fruit.
5
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and remaining 3/4 cup of granulated sugar.
6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, pineapple juice, and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
7
Pour the batter evenly over the fruit and sugar mixture in the prepared pan.
8
Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
