Creating a delicious Pineapple Upside-Down Cake involves a few straightforward steps. Follow these instructions carefully to achieve the best results:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Pan: Melt the butter in a 9-inch round cake pan in the oven. Once melted, sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the bottom.
3. Arrange Pineapple: Place the pineapple slices in a single layer on top of the brown sugar. Fill the center of the pineapple slices with maraschino cherries.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, cream the melted butter and granulated sugar together. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and milk.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
7. Add Batter: Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple and cherries in the pan.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove from oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
10. Invert Cake: Carefully run a knife around the edges, then invert the cake onto a serving plate while it is still warm. The pineapple and cherries will be on top.
