Ingredients
Topping:
-
1 cup brown sugar
-
½ cup unsalted butter
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
1 (8 ounce) can sliced pineapple
Cake:
-
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
Directions
-
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.
