Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 (20 oz) can sliced pineapple in juice, drained
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • Maraschino cherries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Slow Cooker or Air Fryer: If using a slow cooker, line it with parchment paper or use a non-stick spray. For an air fryer, preheat it to 320°F (160°C).
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix until smooth.
  5. Prepare Pineapple Topping: In the bottom of your slow cooker or air fryer basket, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly. Arrange the sliced pineapple on top, and place maraschino cherries in the center of each pineapple ring if desired.
  6. Pour the Batter: Carefully pour the pound cake batter over the pineapple layer, spreading it evenly.
  7. Cook: If using a slow cooker, cover and cook on high for about 150 to 180 minutes. For an air fryer, cook for approximately 45 to 50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.

Notes

Allow the cake to cool slightly before flipping it for easier removal. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
