Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
- Melt the 7 tablespoons of butter over low heat.
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the bottom of a 10- to 12-inch round baking pan.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter.
- Arrange the pineapple slices over the brown sugar layer. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.
- Add the eggs and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar to a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until light and well combined.
- Add the softened butter and continue mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the self-rising flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture. Add the almond essence and continue mixing until a smooth, uniform batter forms.
- If the batter is too thick, add a small amount of the reserved pineapple juice until the batter reaches a pourable consistency.
- Carefully pour the batter over the pineapple slices in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen the cake.
- Place a serving plate over the baking pan and carefully invert the cake onto the plate. Remove the baking pan and allow the cake to cool before serving.
