Equipment

Ingredients

Topping

  • 1/4 cup melted non-dairy butter I used Earth Balance
  • 1/4 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 -20 ounce can of pineapple slices (I used 7 slices)
  • 1 jar maraschino cherries preferably no-dye if available

Cake

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly spray the sides of a cake pan or pie plate. To make the topping, melt the non-dairy butter in a saucepan, add sugar, and stir. Spread this mixture around the base of your cake pan.
  • Arrange the pineapple slices around the pan, then place the cherries wherever they fit. Reserve the juice from the pineapples to use in the cake batter.
  • For the cake batter, combine the pineapple juice, ground flaxseeds, oil, and vanilla in a bowl and set aside.
  • Separately, mix gluten-free flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add pineapple mixture and mix to form a batter.
  • Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple and cherries. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from oven, and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes before inverting the cake onto a serving platter. Use a knife to loosen the cake from the side of the cake pan if it is sticking.
  • Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
