Serves 3-4

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a 10-inch heavy skillet with a heat-resistant handle, melt 1/2 cup butter over very low heat. Remove from heat and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over pan. Arrange pineapple slices to cover bottom of skillet. Place cherries inside pineapple rings.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt.
Separate the eggs into two bowls.
In a large bowl, beat egg whites just until soft peaks form. Add granulated sugar gradually, beating well after each addition. Beat until stiff peaks form.
In a small bowl, beat egg yolks at high speed until very thick and yellow. With rubber spatula gently fold egg yolks and flour mixture into whites until blended. Fold in 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine and almond extract. Spread batter evenly over the pineapples in the skillet.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until surface springs back when gently pressed with a fingertip. Loosen the edges of the cake with a table knife. Cool the cake for 5 minutes before inverting onto serving plate.

ENJOY!
