Grease the bottom of a 20cm x 20cm square cake tin & line with greaseproof paper.
In a bowl beat together 75g unsalted butter & the golden syrup. Spread the mixture over the bottom of the tin.
Pat the pineapple rings dry with some kitchen towel. Place the pineapple rings on the bottom of the tin. Press them into the butter & syrup layer.
Beat together the butter & sugar until pale & creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time & stir after each one until smooth.
Add the flour & stir gently until thoroughly mixed.
