OVEN 350 degrees
INGREDIENTS:
1 can 15 oz. crushed pineapple
1 cup brown sugar packed
1/4 cup butter (melted)
3 cups sifted flour
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
5 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup softened shortening
2 eggs
1 TBSP. vanilla
(I recall that sometimes Maraschino cherries added to the pineapple mix and that sometimes she'd use pineapple rings, not crushed pineapple)
DIRECTIONS:
1) GREASE pan - 9 x13" or a 10" skillet
2) DRAIN crushed pineapple and reserve juice. COMBINE margarine, brown sugar, pineapple and 2 tablespoons pineapple juice. SPREAD onto the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Add enough water to remaining juice to make 1 1/3 cup of liquid. Set aside.
3) COMBINE flour and baking powder. Set aside.
4) CREAM shortening and white sugar until light and fluffy. ADD eggs and vanilla, and BEAT for 1 minute. ADD flour mixture alternately with juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
5) POUR batter over pineapple mixture in pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes and then turn over onto serving plate.
(Though I recall Grammie would pull it out of the oven and immediately turn it over onto a serving plate without any problems...I think!)
