My gramma used to bake cakes and pies during the Depression and my grampa would sell them door-to-door and on the street corners to support them during that awful time. This is one of my favorites.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Melt butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Stir in brown sugar; heat until bubbly.

Remove from heat.

Arrange pineapple rings and pecans on top.

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; repeat sifting twice more.

Beat white sugar and eggs together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Alternate folding flour mixture and pineapple juice into the egg mixture in 3 batches, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.

Pour over pineapple slices.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

Let cool in the skillet for 5 minutes.
