Method1)Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
For the topping, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
Spread over the base and a quarter of the way up the sides of a 20-21cm round cake tin.
Arrange pineapple rings on top, then place cherries in the centres of the rings.
2)Place the cake ingredients in a bowl along with 2 tbsp of the pineapple syrup and, using an electric whisk, beat to a soft consistency.
Spoon into the tin on top of the pineapple and smooth it out so it’s level.
Bake for 35 mins.
