Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Step 2
Coarsely chop the butter. Place in a large mixing bowl with the sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat together until pale and fluffy.
- Step 3
Add the whole egg and the egg yolks and beat until thoroughly mixed. Beat in the rum.
- Step 4
Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture. Add the salt and mix thoroughly, using a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Step 5
Grease a 10- to 11-inch baking pan with a removable bottom and sides about one-and-a-half to two inches high. Spread the batter over the bottom as evenly as possible. Set aside.
- Step 6
Peel the pineapple. Cut it in half and remove the core. Cut in half again horizontally and peel the skin, removing any ''eyes.'' Slice the pineapple in quarter-inch pieces.
- Step 7
Place pieces on top of the batter, leaving an inch around the rim. Bake 50-60 minutes, or till a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Instead of making one large cake, I made two little ones and stacked them on top of each other. Also, I think it's better served with a little side of mascarpone or even greek yogurt just to add a little bit of creaminess and a bit of sour to the flavor!
