Transform classic donuts into attractive individual cakes, garnished with a glossy pineapple wheel and a maraschino cherry. Unlike traditional donuts, these donuts are baked in the oven. So, you'll need a special pan with a tube in the center of each cavity. Line the bottom of the pan with a mixture of butter and brown sugar, which turns into a delicious caramel glaze after baking. Place the pineapples on top, and then pour the batter over the dough. Turn the finished donuts pineapple-side up and place a cherry in each cavity. A delicious, impressive, and quite simple dessert.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 190°C.
Carefully cut the pineapple rings in half from the sides to make thin slices. - Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then turn off the heat and stir in the brown sugar until completely dissolved. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the sugar mixture into each well of a metal donut pan, then top with a pineapple slice, pressing firmly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla, egg, reserved pineapple syrup from the can, and 1/4 cup water. Stir the liquid mixture into the dry mixture and knead until smooth. Transfer to a large pastry bag or resealable plastic bag, snip the corner to create a 2-cm (0.8-inch) opening, and squeeze some of the batter into a donut pan, filling each well almost to the top.
- Place the pan with the dough on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Cool the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes, then lift them out with an offset spatula and transfer them to a wire rack. Top each donut with a cherry and repeat with the remaining dough two more times.
