This pineapple upside-down cake recipe is made with a unique and exotic twist. The cake is made with a buttery brown sugar topping, pineapple rings, and maraschino cherries, and a moist vanilla cake base with cardamom. The cardamom adds a deliciously spicy and floral flavor to the cake. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an exotic dessert.
