1 tbs Vegetable oil -OR- melted margarine
1/2 cup Brown granular sweetener; such as Sucanat

12 oz Pineapple juice concentrate (frozen), thawed

Coat the bottom and sides of a square 13" x 7" glass baking dish (or similar pan) with 1 tablespoon oil.
Sprinkle granular sweetener evenly over bottom of pan, then pour the reserved pineapple juice over sweetener until evenly covered.
Carefully lay pineapple slices over bottom of pan, cutting some slices into smaller pieces to fill centers and spaces between rings.
CAKE:
Using an electric mixer, beat together thawed pineapple juice concentrate, oil and flavoring until thoroughly combined.
Add flour, baking soda and salt; beat just until batter is smooth.
Immediately pour batter over pineapple slices in prepared pan.
Bake 25-30 minutes.

Try using apple or pear slices instead of pineapple, and apple juice concentrate instead of the pineapple juice concentrate.
Substitute 2 teaspoons of baking powder for the baking soda, and flavor cake with ground cinnamon and cloves.
