Ingredients
  • 2 oz brown sugar (1/6 c) .
  • 2 candied cherries, halved (optional) .
  • 2 tsps ground ginger .
  • 1 (227 g) can pineapple rings (drained weight 140g) .
  • 4 oz self-raising flour (1 c) .
  • Topping .
  • Cake .
  • 4 oz butter (1/2 c) .
  • 4 oz light brown sugar (2/3 c) .
  • 2 eggs, beaten .
  • 2 oz butter (1/4 c)

Directions
  • Step #1 Grease an 8 inch tin.
  • Step #2 To make topping: put the butter & sugar into a small bowl & beat together till nice & fluffy.
  • Step #3 Pour into tin.
  • Step #4 Place pineapple rings on top & cherries in the middle, personally I hate cherries so I never use them.
  • Step #5 To make the cake.
  • Step #6 beat together sugar & butter till fluffy.
  • Step #7 Mix in the pre-beaten eggs a little at a time.
  • Step #8 Sift in flour & ginger & mix.
  • Step #9 Add the pineapple juice from tin - I normally don't use quite all of it, but over 3/4.
  • Step #10 The batter should be quite thin.
  • Step #11 Mix again.
  • Step #12 Pour batter into tin, smoothing the top.
  • Step #13 Bake at 180C/360F for 35 mins, or until an inserted toothpick or knife comes clean & cake is golden on top.
  • Step #14 I find that if the cake is golden on top but the middle isn't cooked, lowering the heat to 140 degrees C (280 F) & baking until middle is cooked is the best solution & sometimes if a cake is being particularly stubborn with the middle not cooking lowering it further to 100 degrees C (200F) Although I've never had to with this particular cake.
  • Step #15 When cake is ready turn over & release tin so the pineapple rings are on top.
