Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes
I am not a big cake eater. Just a plain chocolate, yellow or white cake are just boring to me and I don't think they have much taste. I do however love cakes that have something with them. Like this one. Who wouldn't love a little cake with pineapple, cherry and brown sugar?
To start off I sprayed 2 Jumbo muffin tin with non stick spray. I also heated the oven to 325.
Brown sugar mixture.
4 tablespoons butter melted
2/3 cup brown sugar
Melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar. Divide between the muffin cavities.
Next take pineapple (there were 10 slices in a can so I made 10 cakes) and place on top of the brown sugar mixture. Then add a cherry to the middle of the pineapple.
Then make a yellow cake. You can even make your own from scratch if you like but I made mine from a box. I used the juice from the pineapple with the water for the cake mix. It gave it a little pineapple flavor. I then put the cake mix in the tins filling it up 3/4th full.
Bake at 325 for about 20 or until done. Gently tip upside down on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet for any dripping. If stuck in the pan take a knife and gently run it around the edges.
Let the cake cool. You can either enjoy it that way or cut it in half and fill with whipped cream.
Good thing about these things is that they freeze pretty well, so if you don't end up eating them all at one sitting you can freeze them and eat them at another time.
Happy Baking!
