Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 cake pan.
In a small bowl, melt one stick of butter in the microwave for about a minute. Add in the brown sugar and mix well. Heat in the microwave for one more minute.
Pour the sugar mixture in the bottom of the prepared cake pan and spread even.
Reserve the pineapple juice from the pineapple rings and place 8 on the top of the brown sugar mixture. Three down each side, two down the middle.
Place a cherry in the middle of each pineapple ring.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars. Add in the vanilla, buttermilk, eggs, and pineapple juice. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Mix well.
Pour the cake batter over the brown sugar mixture, gently spreading it to be an even layer.
Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for around 20 minutes. Invert onto a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper or another serving board.
