  3. Slowly add the granulated sugar. Mix together for an additional 5 minutes, until very pale yellow and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs 1 at a time, combining well after each addition and scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  5. Turn your mixer down to its lowest speed and slowly add the flour in 2 batches. Add the salt. Be careful not to overbeat. Add the sour cream, crushed pineapple and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

To assemble with top of cake
  1. To assemble cake, pour melted butter in the bottom of the sprayed pan then sprinkle the butter with brown sugar.
