6. 2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
7. 2/3 cup SPLENDA(R) Sugar Blend for Baking
8. 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
9. 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
10. 1/4 teaspoon salt
11. 1/2 cup butter, softened
12. 3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk
13. 3/4 cup egg substitute
14. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Melt butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet or a 10-inch cake pan with 2-inch sides; sprinkle with 1/2 cup SPLENDA(R) Brown Sugar Blend. Spread mixture evenly in pan. Arrange pineapple and cherries over SPLENDA(R) Brown Sugar Blend mixture; sprinkle with pecans. Set aside.
3. Combine flour, SPLENDA(R) Sugar Blend for Baking, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly. (This procedure may be done with a mixer at the lowest speed).
4. Stir together buttermilk, egg substitute and vanilla in a small mixing bowl; add 1/3 of the buttermilk mixture to flour mixture. Beat at low speed of an electric mixer until blended. Beat at medium speed for 30 seconds or until batter is smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of the bowl. Repeat procedure with next 1/3 of the buttermilk mixture. Add remaining buttermilk mixture; beat for 30 seconds or until mixture is smooth. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes; invert onto plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
