Preheat oven 180C/350F/Gas4

Grease a 8 inch x 8 inch square tin with butter (or deep round tin if you like)

Drain your pineapple and place the slices in the greased tin add your Glace Cherries, however you like

Spoon over the Golden Syrup

In a mixer or by hand, cream your butter & sugar until light and fluffy

Add the vanilla extract

Next add eggs one at a time, beating well between each one (if it starts to curdle add a small amount of flour)

Finally stir in the flour until all combined and smooth

Carefully pop the sponge batter on top of the pineapple and smooth to the sides with a spoon (it will seem thinly covered)

Bake for 30-35 mins or until golden brown and firm to touch

Remove from the oven - leave to cool for 5 mins in tin

With a knife go around the tin to ensure it's loose

Pop a plate on top of the tin & turn over - give it a little shake  (you will hear it drop out)

Remove the tin - Ta Dah there you have it!!

Serve warm with custard, cream or ice-cream
