Pineapple Up-side Down Cake

Preheat oven 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, toss the pineapple with
1 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. In a
hot cast iron skillet, melt 1/2 stick of the butter. Caramelize the
pineapple, about 3 to 5 minutes. For the batter: In a mixing bowl,
cream one cup of the butter and 1 1/2 cups of the sugar. Stir in the
eggs one at a time. Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, vanilla,
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and milk. Add the flour
and mix well. Pour the cake batter evenly over the pineapple. Bake
for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and pulls
away slightly from the edges of the skillet. Cool for about 30
minutes, then invert over a large platter.
