- 2 eggs
- 6 maraschino cherries
- Position a rack in the lower third of your oven and preheat oven to 350F.
- Grease a 9-inch round pie pan.
- Place the pineapple slices flat in the bottom of pan so they touch but dont overlap.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 6 tablespoons cannabutter with 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of the light brown sugar.
- As the butter melts, stir to blend the ingredients, then spread over the pineapple slices.

- With an electric mixer, in a large bowl, beat the remaining 6 tablespoons of cannabutter for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Slowly add 1 1/2 cups of the granulated sugar and continue beating at medium speed until light and fluffy (approximately 5 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk mixture until everythings well incorporated and smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (approximately 50 to 55 minutes).
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes.
