Ingredients

1 can (20 oz.) DOLE^® Canned Pineapple Slices in 100% Pineapple Juice
1/3 cup butter, melted, melted
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup pecan halves, chopped
3 l large egg(s), separated
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
9 maraschino cherries
2 cup garnish whipped topping, thawed

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F. In an ungreased 9-in. square baking pan, combine butter and brown sugar. Drain DOLE^® Pineapple Slices, reserving 1/3 cup juice. Arrange 9 pineapple slices in a single layer over sugar (refrigerate any remaining slices for another use). Sprinkle pecans over pineapple; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Blend in vanilla and reserved pineapple juice. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to batter, beating well.
In a small bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Spoon into pan.
Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before inverting onto serving plate. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice. If desired, serve with whipped topping.
