Arrange 7 slices of pineapple and the maraschino cherries in your preferred design along the bottom and up the sides of the pan, halving the slices as necessary. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while the batter is prepared. (This will allow the fruit to set in the butter and minimize shifting when the batter is poured into the pan.)

Add half of the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated, then repeat the steps with the remaining sour cream and dry ingredients, making sure to scrape the bowl down between each addition. Add the chopped pineapple and mix until just incorporated, about 15 seconds.
• Remove the prepared loaf pan from the refrigerator and carefully pour in the batter, being careful not to shift the assembled fruit. Using a small offset spatula, carefully spread the batter into the corners and smooth out the top. Give the pan 5 to 10 taps on the counter to release any large air pockets.
