If you are going to make the cake the traditional way, you bake it in a 10" cast iron skillet. In that case, melt the butter on the stove top in the bottom of the skillet. If you are going to make it in a regular pan like I did, melt the butter in the microwave and pour into the bottom of your cake pan.

Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter.

Arrange the pineapple on top of the brown sugar. Fit in as many pineapple rings as you can.

Place a stemless maraschino cherry in between each pineapple

Fill the space between the pineapple with the walnut pieces

Beat the eggs on high speed until pale yellow and thick, about 5 minutes.

Add in the sugar, pineapple juice, and vanilla, beat together

Add in the baking powder and flour, beat until just combined

Pour batter over the top of the topping

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
