To make Vanilla Pineapple Upside-Down, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 can pineapple rings (20 oz)
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup of brown sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Arrange the pineapple rings in a single layer on top of the sugar mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of pineapple juice and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Pour the mixture over the pineapple rings.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt. In a separate large bowl, cream 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter over the pineapple rings and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the skillet to loosen the cake. Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully invert the cake onto the plate.
The Vanilla Pineapple Upside-Down cake is now ready to serve. This dish is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests. The cake has a beautiful golden brown appearance with a layer of caramelized pineapple on top. The taste is sweet and tangy with a rich vanilla flavor that complements the pineapple perfectly.
