1 1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
3 tbsp. shortening
3 eggs
1 1/2 c. flour
6 tbsp. pineapple juice
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. milk

Simmer shortening and brown sugar in heavy iron skillet (#8 size) until shortening has been thoroughly absorbed. Center full slice of pineapple and make "spokes" of 12 half slices with maraschino cherry in center of each. Cover with following mixture.

Beat egg yolks with pineapple juice, add sugar and beat well. Add milk. Sift and combine ingredients. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake in 300 degree oven for approximately one hour. Turn out onto a plate at least 1 or 2 inches larger than cake base (watch that hot syrup!) immediately.
