Okay, diving into the #EBTSC project. As an extra challenge, I'll try a fresh pineapple, and see how that goes.
Oven is pre-warming with a baking stone in place too.
#BananaForScale, not in the recipe

We don't have maraschino cherries, but don't frozen ones should do the trick.
Spelling mistake on the packaging, it says "Canada A" but should say "Canada, eh?"

It's a "mise en place" moment. A bit of extra work, but fun for the combining steps!

The combination of ingredients begins. Some good tips in the Guardian recipe.

Realizing I left out the alternate fat I was going to sub in for 1/4 of the butter. Oops.
Probably a minor impact, but a silly omission. I'll just call it a heart-healthy intentional exclusion.

@ottaross Hehe, a happy little accident. I wanted to mash some of the leftover pineapple and add it to the sponge, but it's still sitting in the fridge. Hub doesn't know though

Cake is out, and cooled, and I'm eager to try it.

The frozen cherries don't make up as bright red as the maraschino variety. But I'm happy with the result. I'm a bit too lazy to make the glaze suggested, though.

@elebertus no they're frozen black cherries

.@vitskapsdama if you don't have leftover ingredients, you aren't doing it right

And a little portion to sample. Whoo, tasty. Not missing the 25% of the butter I left out

@ottaross Seeing everyone's beautiful results makes me so sad that I am allergic to pineapple

@ottaross Shucks. Could have made tepache with the skin and core.
How to Make Pineapple Tepache
Tepache is a breeze to make at home and it's a delicious and refreshing beverage. Plus? It uses the part of the pineapple that most people throw away!

@LillyHerself oh drat. Hoping to see someone who's swapping out the pineapple for something else.

@ottaross I considered that, but this particular cake is so dependent on that layer of moisture that is the pineapple slices, so I just wait till next time to join in

@LillyHerself @ottaross a few years ago I made an upsidedown cake with blackberries we had picked from around the yard. Sooooo sweet but tasty. Looking back at the picture it wasn't really much of a looker either. Basically you cook your fruit of choice with some sugar and reduce then put that in the bottom of the pan.
