Time 1h25m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon honey
1 (8 ounce) can sliced pineapple
½ cup buttermilk
¼ cup dark rum
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt brown sugar, butter, and honey for topping in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
  • Pour butter mixture into the bottoms of two ungreased 8-inch round cake pans. Drain pineapple slices and reserve 1/4 cup juice for the cake. Layer pineapple slices on top of the butter mixture.
  • Combine buttermilk, rum, and reserved pineapple juice in a small bowl. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in another small bowl.
  • Beat white and brown sugars with butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Mix in 1/2 of the flour mixture, then all of the buttermilk mixture, and finally the remaining flour mixture until well combined. Divide cake batter evenly between the two pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cakes are golden and a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven place on wire racks until completely cooled, 30 to 45 minutes. Turn one cake out onto a serving plate, then carefully turn second cake directly on top of the first.
