Ingredients

Directions

Mix eggs yolks and sugar. Add hot water, flour, and baking powder. Beat the egg whites until stiff, and fold into batter. Beat well.

Butter a 13 x 9 cake pan generously. Cover bottom with brown sugar. Place pineapple in brown sugar, and pour batter over pineapples.

Bake at 325 deg. F for 1 hour. Turn cake upside down and serve with whipped cream.

Maraschino cherries may be placed among the pineapple for a fancier version.

You can use peaches instead of pineapple.
