Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole milk
Cherry Glaze, for topping, recipe follows
1/2 cup cherry preserves
2 tablespoons pineapple juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pineapple and brown sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple is slightly softened and golden brown, about 6 minutes.
  • Whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the remaining 1 stick butter and the granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Reduce the speed to low and add half of the flour mixture, followed by the milk and then the remaining flour, beating just until incorporated.
  • Divide the caramelized pineapple among six 8-ounce Mason jars, pressing with a spoon to compact the pineapple slightly. Divide the batter among the jars (a little over 1/3 cup per jar).
  • Set the jars on a baking sheet and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
  • Top each jar with a spoonful of Cherry Glaze.
  • Add the cherry preserves and pineapple juice to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the jam cooks down slightly.

These cakes are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them in individual jars so that everyone can have their own.

I've made this recipe twice now and both times the cakes have turned out dry. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I loved these cakes! The pineapple was perfectly caramelized and the cake was moist and fluffy.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cakes turned out dry and crumbly. Not sure what went wrong.
