Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Back in 1962, this recipe was given to me by my Mom's friend, Jimpsie Doyle, at my wedding shower. It is my go-to recipe, as I have yet to find one I like better. 
Very moist . . . Just delicious.

4  Tbs  butter or margarine
2/3  cup  brown sugar
1  can  (20 oz)  crushed pineapple, drained, reserve juice
2  eggs
2/3  cup  sugar
1  tsp  vanilla
1  cup  flour
1/4  tsp  salt
1/3  tsp  baking powder

In a heavy skillet, melt butter. Add brown sugar and drained pineapple.

Beat eggs until thick and lemon colored, about 5 minutes. Gradually add sugar,  6  Tbs  reserved pineapple juice, and vanilla. Add flour, salt, and baking powder.

Put the pineapple mixture in the bottom of an ungreased small size oblong Pyrex baking dish. Pour batter over the pineapple. Bake @350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and partially cool before turning upside-down on a serving platter. Good hot or cold, but if you serve it hot, put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
