Makes 1 (10-inch) cake
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon (14 grams) canola oil
  • 8 (½-inch-thick) fresh pineapple rings (418 grams)
  • 1½ cups (188 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon (3.75 grams) baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup (180 grams) whole milk
  • 6 tablespoons (84 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ teaspoon (2 grams) vanilla extract
  • 3 large egg yolks (56 grams)
  • Brown Sugar Crumble (recipe follows)
  • Brown Sugar-Lemon Glaze (recipe follows)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add half of pineapple; cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side (reduce heat to medium, if necessary). Remove from skillet. Add remaining pineapple, and repeat procedure. Remove skillet from heat; let cool for 20 minutes. Wipe skillet clean.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour flour mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add milk, butter, and vanilla; beat at low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Increase mixer speed to high. Beat for 2 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Reduce mixer speed to low. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Spread batter into cooled skillet. Arrange pineapple over batter, overlapping slices. Sprinkle with Brown Sugar Crumble.
  4. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes. Drizzle with Brown Sugar- Lemon Glaze before serving.
