Directions:
Melt 1/4 cup of the margarine in a 12" Dutch oven over coals; add brown sugar, blending well. Arrange pineapple slices on margarine/brown sugar mixture. Put a Maraschino cherry in center of each pineapple slice. Remove from heat.

In mixing bowl, cream sugar and the remaining ½ cup margarine. Add eggs and beat until well blended. Add flour, baking powder, salt, evaporated milk and vanilla; mix thoroughly. Pour batter over fruit in Dutch oven. Cook with 15 coals on top of Dutch oven and 8 on bottom for 40 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick. When cake tests done, remove from heat; turn over onto a serving plate. Especially delicious served with ice cream or whipped cream.

Variations: Use peaches, fruit cocktail or other fruit. A white cake mix may be used for cake. Can add walnut halves around the pineapple slices if desired.

Cooking hints: This cake burns very easily, so take your time, using low medium coals. You may want to line the oven with aluminum foil.
