Happy Birthday to Me :)















For Topping:







brown sugar 3/4 cup






butter 55g






pineapple can 500g (slices)






any berries (optional)







Note: Most people prefer cherries to decorate but I used pomegranate seeds ;) 











For Cake:







all purpose flour  1-1/2 cup






white sugar 1 cup






eggs 2, separated






baking powder 2tsp






salt 1/4tsp






milk 1/2 cup






butter 115g - softened






vanilla extract 1tsp






pineapple juice 1tbsp















Method:
















Preheat the oven to 180 C, grease 9 or 10 inches cake pan.













For Topping:







In a small pan melt the butter and add sugar until dissolved.













Now remove from heat and pour evenly into your prepared cake pan. 












Arrange the slices of pineapple on top of the sugar mixture and keep it aside.












For Cake:
















Whisk the flour, add baking powder and salt; mix well.














In another bowl, cream butter with sugar until well combined.













Add in vanilla extract and egg yolks; beat well.














Now add in half of the flour and beat until combined; add quarter cup of the milk; mix again.











Add in the remaining flour, beat well and then rest of the milk, mix until well combined.











In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites with pineapple juice until the whites hold a firm peak.










Now gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter.














Pour this batter into the cake pan over pineapples and spread it evenly. 












Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.









Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.














Run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan before inverting the cake onto the plate.











Decorate it with pomegranate seeds like I did or with cherries.












Makes 1 large cake.
