- Add pineapple rings (canned or fresh).
- Add maraschino cherries to each ring. Add macadamia nuts to fill in areas around rings. Add batter.
- Bake at 350º F for about 50 minutes, or until toothpick goes in and comes out clean.
- When done, place cake platter on top of cake and flip it. Leave it for about five minutes to allow melted brown sugar and butter mixture to drizzle down sides.
