Instructions

Grease a 18 cm springform pan with butter and dust with flour.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and gradually add flour, stirring constantly. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40 minutes at 160°C. Allow to chill completely and then cut the cake into two layers.

Peel 1/4 pineapple and cut into thin slices. Place on a baking plate lined with parchment paper, sprinkle with sugar and let dry in the oven for 20 minutes at 160°C. Lower the temperature to 100°C and dry for another 20 minutes.
