Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 (20 oz) can pineapple slices
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tbsp cake flour
6 tbsp ground almonds (from '2 oz. of whole almonds )
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 large eggs
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup sour cream

Directions:

Start by making the caramel topping. Take brown sugar and butter and combine and melt in a saucepan on medium heat until sugar disolves and the mixture is bubbly. This should take several minutes. (After sugar melts, don't stir.) Pour mixture into a 10-inch diameter stick-free cake pan with 2 inch high sides. Arrange pineapple slices in a single layer on top of the caramel mixture. You should be able to fit about 7 slices.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk the flours, almonds, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with sour cream in 2 additions each, beating well after each addition. Pour cake batter over caramel and pineapple in pan.
Bake cake until tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes (mine was actually done in one hour, so check after one hour). Turn cake out onto platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.
BEWARE: some caramel might drip on the bottom of your oven while baking; I cleaned it up immediately after taking the cake out, scraping it off with a spatual-be careful! You know how hard it is to get that caramel off when it hardens:).
