Instructions:
For Topping:
- Lightly grease 8 ounce ramekins with butter and place on a baking sheet. Set aside.
- Drain pineapple rings, reserving 6 tablespoons of juice for pineapple upside-down cake.
- Combine melted butter, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground ginger in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar mixture in the bottom of each ramekin. Place a pineapple ring in each ramekin and add a maraschino cherry to the center of each pineapple ring. Set aside.
For Pineapple Upside-Down Cake:
- Whisk flour, salt, and baking powder together in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat for 1 minute on medium speed until smooth.
- Add reserved pineapple juice and half of the reserved flour mixture and beat on low speed until smooth. Add milk and remaining flour mixture and continue mixing for 1 minute until batter is smooth.
- Spread 1/3 cup batter on top of pineapple in each ramekin.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
- Remove cake from oven and cool for 3 minutes. Run a knife or offset spatula around the edge of each cake. Carefully turn ramekins onto a wire rack and gently lift. Cool.
For Frozen Pineapple Treat:
- Place 1/2 cup pineapple juice, frozen pineapple, and dairy-free vanilla ice cream in a blender and blend until smooth – do not over blend.
- If the mixture is too thick, add 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice at a time.
- Scoop onto Pineapple Upside-Down Cake and serve immediately.
