6 egg pineapple upside down cake

John asked for pineapple on grocery day. Naturally one serving and the rest sits there.
I decided cake.


So here you go:

Prep one rectangular cake pan
By lining with parchment paper.

Drain 1 can of crushed pineapple
Saving juice.

In a bowl mix;
Drained pineapple
1\2 cup soft butter
2 cup brown sugar

Pour into pan 
Onto parchment and spread evenly.

Then:
Take 6 eggs and separate.

Set aside egg whites.

To the yolks add:
8 tbsp of pineapple juice
2 tsp vanilla
Then set aside.

In a bowl mix:
1 1\2 cup flour
1 1\4 cup sugar
1\2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
Then set aside.

Take a mixer and a big bowl:

And beat egg whites on high
Gradually adding 3 tbsp sugar
Until still peaks form.

Reduce speed to medium
Gradually add flour mixture
Followed by egg yolk mixture.

Mix until batter is spreadable.
Add more pineapple juice of necessary.

Spread batter in pan over pineapple
Fairly evenly.

Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.

Let cool
Then invert
Peel off parchment
And serve.

We made our with fresh pineapple
So much less sweet 
Than the sugar filled canned stuff.

"Bon appetit!"
