3 tbsp. butter
1/3 c. heavy cream or evaporated milk
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. coconut
1/2 tsp. ginger
1 (No. 2) can pineapple slices
8 maraschino cherries

Heat butter, cream or evaporated milk and brown sugar in heavy 9 inch skillet until it is a smooth paste. Then sprinkle over the coconut and ginger and arrange pineapple slices and cherries in center of each pineapple.

BATTER:

1 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1 tbsp. butter

Start oven at 350 degrees F. or moderate. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together several times. Then beat the eggs until they look thick as mayonnaise (takes about 10 minutes of steady beating). Add sugar, a tablespoon at a time to the eggs, still beating.

Stir the sifted flour mixture into the egg-sugar mixture, just enough to mix thoroughly. Heat milk and butter to warm stage and mix into batter. Pour over pineapple topping and bake 40-50 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Turn upside down and serve warm or cold, with or without whipped cream.
