Replenishing your reserves isn't all about vitamins - it's also about making you feel good again too! And oh, my goodness, this cake will make everyone happy. It's delicious on its own, served warm, or with custard.
Based on 8 servings, adjust as needed.
Preheat the Oven: Set to 180°C (160°C fan).
Prepare the Tin: Grease a 20cm round cake tin and line the base with parchment paper.
Arrange Pineapple and Cherries: Place pineapple rings on the base of the tin and put a glacé cherry half in the center of each ring.
Make the Batter: In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then fold in flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract.
Assemble: Pour the batter over the pineapple rings, smoothing the top.
Bake: For 35-40 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
