Main Ingredients

1 can pineapple slices 20 oz
0.25 cup unsalted butter
0.5 cup brown sugar
1 package cream cheese 8 oz, softened
0.5 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Melt butter in the Instant Pot on sauté mode. Add brown sugar and stir until melted.
Place pineapple slices in a single layer over the brown sugar mixture.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until just combined.
Pour the batter over the pineapple slices in the Instant Pot.
Close the lid, set to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. Quick release the pressure.
Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate. Serve warm.

Notes:

For best results, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. You can also add maraschino cherries in the center of the pineapple slices for a classic touch.
