3. In a large cast iron skillet oven medium high heat, melt the stick of butter. Once bubbly turn off heat and add the brown sugar and mix till well blended.
4. Place your pineapple rings evenly in the sugar/butter fallowed by a cherry fr inside each ring.
5. Pour the cake batter over the rings and cherries and place in the oven for 40 -45 minutes. Insert a tooth pick to check if the cake is done. A clean toothpick indicates a ready cake.
