Ingredients

For The Caramel:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 Tbsp dark rum
20 oz. can of sliced pineapple
10 Maraschino cherries
For The Cake:
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
3 large eggs (separated)
3/4 cup sugar
5 Tbsp dark rum
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit; position a rack in the center of the oven.
Add the butter to a 9-inch-diameter baking pan.
Place the pan inside of the preheated oven until melted, approximately 6 minutes.
Carefully, with heat-protectant gloves, remove the pan from the oven and add the brown sugar and rum; stir until mixed well and even.
Arrange the pineapple slices evenly in the butter-sugar pan; place a cherry in the center of each one.
For The Cake:
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and whisk to combine.
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until thick and creamy; add the rum and vanilla extract and mix well.
Add the flour mixture and incorporate until well combined.
Using a spatula, fold in the egg whites in thirds until just mixed in.
Pour the batter over the caramel and pineapple slices in the cake pan and smooth to the edges.
Bake for 40 minutes until the cake is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
Place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
Run a thin knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
Place a serving platter over the pan and invert carefully allowing the cake to slide out of the pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
