Description

A beautifully golden cake with caramelized pineapple and cherries, made effortlessly in an Instant Pot.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices, drained
  • Maraschino cherries
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Start by greasing the Instant Pot with butter to prevent sticking.

  3. Arrange the pineapple slices over the brown sugar mixture and place a cherry in the center of each slice.
  4. Cream together the remaining 1/2 cup butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Mix in the flour, baking powder, milk, and salt until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter over the arranged pineapples and cherries.
  8. Close the Instant Pot lid and set it to cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
  9. Release the pressure naturally for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release.
  10. Invert the cake onto a serving plate and let it cool before slicing.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and butter with a dairy-free alternative.
