PREPARATION

• Here we are baking this cake on stove top. No need of further introduction for baking a cake in oven. So you can bake the same cake following the same recipe in OVEN TOO. 
• Grease a round cake pan with 2 tsp of softened butter (can add more butter as per your taste only). Sprinkle 2 tbsp of sugar evenly all over it. Now layer the pineapple slices and cherries. Set aside.
• Sift together all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt in a separate plate and set aside.
• Now take a bowl and beat together softened butter and sugar until creamy. Then add eggs and again beat till well combined and creamy.
• To this add milk, pine apple juice and vanilla essence. Combine very well.
• Now add the flour mixture little by little. Fold them well with the egg mixture. Do not beat after adding flour mixture.
• Then pour this batter to the prepared cake pan over the layered pineapple slices and cherries. Spread it evenly.

BAKING IN OVEN

• Bake it in a preheated oven for 30 - 40 minutes or until done at 180 degree C. (Check by inserting a tooth pick and if it comes out clean then it is done.). Place a tray and top it with a butter paper and then place this prepared cake pan over it. This gives a perfect texture to the cake while baking in an oven.

STOVE TOP BAKING (NO OVEN BAKING)

• Heat a non stick vessel with lid. Once hot , make the flame very low and keep the prepared cake pan with batter inside  this preheated vessel and close the lid.  Cook for 40 minutes in a  very low flame.
• Insert a toothpick after 30 minutes (for checking only) and once the toothpick comes out clearly, remove from flame.
• Take out the tray and allow it to cool for 10 minutes at room temperature. Slowly loosen the sides with a knife if required and flip it to a plate or turn the cake upside down. Cool it completely.  
• Now slice it and enjoy.
