Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup, firmly packed Imperial Sugar Light Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup pecans, chopped

- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour*
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

- Arrange pineapple slices and cherries in a pretty pattern in sugar mixture. Sprinkle pecans over top.
- Beat egg whites in a small bowl and set aside.
- Beat egg yolks with granulated sugar in a medium bowl until creamy. Add 1/2 cup of reserved pineapple juice and beat until well blended. Add flour and baking powder and beat until smooth and creamy. Fold in egg whites and pour over pineapple-cherry mixture in skillet.
- Place skill in oven and bake 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool cake in skillet 20 minutes. Loosen around edges with a knife. Invert onto a large serving plate.
