The key ingredient.
I still need to shop and see what's handy – canned vs fresh – and go from there. Maybe tomorrow!

I bought a jar of cherries months ago with this in mind. Not quite the dayglo version I remember from Canada, but close enough for these purposes.

That might help get extra participants who may have some enhanced spare time, or family around to help them.

Last time I think there was one or two late-arrival versions. It was fun to see people enthusiastic to join in as they found the time.

The bottom/topping could turn into a tasty "banofee" version.

We had it fairly often when I was a kid. I haven't made it myself for years but now I'm going to have to. Pretty sure I have some tinned pineapple rings in the pantry, and I definitely have some frozen halved cherries in the freezer so it's all on. 😋

EBTSC here stands for Everyone Bakes The Same Cake 🙂

Hello! 👋 Fun with the baking challenge!
But what does EBTSC stand for?

I guess it’s not «Enhanced Brain Tumor Segmentation and Classification» (which was what search engines came up with)

It’s a long weekend in the USA and so I will make it on the Monday!

Also I can’t believe no one has joked about Stranger Things yet…

I don't know about using bananas, but in the 1970's some of us used canned peaches if we ran out of pineapple rings, and used pecan halves when the red dye in cherries was recalled and stores only had minty green (not good with pineapple, nuts to that). I should make yellow cake batter and do this this weekend!

I'm not sure if I'll use a fresh pineapple or try canned rings yet myself. A reduced sugar version is probably a good idea!

I haven't made one of these in like a decade at least, they are so good. Reducing the sugar might be a bit of a bear though...
