This one has no cherries on it as I didn't have any in.
Ingredients
300g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
250g golden syrup
6 fresh or canned pineapple rings
6 glacé cherries
300g caster sugar
4 medium eggs, lightly beaten
300g self-raising flour
6-8 tbsp milk
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4.
2. Grease and line a deep 30 x 23cm baking dish or roasting tin.
3. Pour the golden syrup into the tin, pop in the oven and heat for 2 minutes.
4. Tilt the tin to evenly spread the syrup.
5. Top with the pineapple rings, putting a glacé cherry in the middle of each ring.
6. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
7. Gradually beat in the eggs until combined, then fold in the flour and enough milk to make a smooth consistency. Spoon the mixture into the tin, making sure that the surface is level.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden.
To test, insert a skewer into the centre – it should come out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 30 minutes.
9. Carefully upturn the cake onto a chopping board. Cut into slices and serve warm or at room temperature.
You can have it with custard or just on it's own, has to be my favourite since making it at school, make sure it is cooked right through!
This looks yummy! I'll have to store it into my recipes folder on my computer to make sometime!

I'm lethally allergic to pineapple but damn, that looks good. I'll steal the idea for my birthday party next month, only... naturally, replace the pineapple with something else. :D
