PINEAPPLE SKILLET SPONGE CAKE
This is yet another recipe from my dear departed Mother's "new" BH&G Cookbook published in 1937. (I've submitted a couple of others from this treasure.) I've only made it in cast iron so cannot say whether or not another type skillet would work as well. This cake is FABULOUS! That's all I can say!! It is the only cake I've ever made from scratch and I'm still fascinated by the fact that sponge cakes rely solely on the eggs for leavening. Not only is it delicious, but it has a beautiful presentation. LOL! I just asked my DH if he had any comments and he said, "divide equally and share fairly with others"! Thank goodness we don't have any children, the way we act about it!! Sure hope someone else enjoys as well...let me know so I won't think we've gone bonkers :)**

Steps:
- Topping: In a heavy 8" ovenproof skillet (cast iron) melt butter and add brown sugar.
- Arrange pineapple slices over mixture; place nut meats between slices and place a cherry in the center of each slice.
- Pour following batter over.
- Batter: Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored, add 1/2 cup of sugar, and continue beating.
- Add water, then fold in remaining cup of sugar sifted with flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Beat well and fold in egg whites.
- Pour over pineapple in skillet and bake in a moderate oven (325 degrees) 45 minutes.
- Cool, run knife around edge to loosen, and turn out on a large platter, pineapple side up.
- If desired, serve with whipped cream.
Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor and texture. If using canned pineapple, drain it well and pat it dry before using.
- Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gradually, until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a smooth and creamy frosting, be sure to whip the frosting until stiff peaks form.
- Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings, such as fresh pineapple, whipped cream, or sprinkles.
Conclusion:
Pineapple sponge pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its light and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy pineapple filling, and creamy frosting, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give pineapple sponge pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
