Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; repeat sifting twice more.
Step 4
Beat white sugar and eggs together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Step 5
Alternate folding flour mixture and pineapple juice into the egg mixture in 3 batches, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Pour over pineapple slices.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the skillet for 5 minutes. Invert carefully onto a serving platter.
