Here’s the recipe for Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes:
Ingredients:
Cake Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 4 tablespoons pineapple juice
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping: - 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick or 4 tablespoons)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 can pineapple rings
- 6 maraschino cherries
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Spray your muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, add the eggs, white sugar, and pineapple juice. Beat for 2 minutes until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Beat for an additional 2 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until well combined. Cook for about 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- Spoon a layer of the warm brown sugar mixture into the bottom of each muffin tin, then place a pineapple ring on top. Add a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
- Pour the cake batter over the pineapple and cherry in each muffin tin, filling them about 3/4 of the way full. If you are using regular muffin tins, you may need to cut down the pineapple rings to fit or use pineapple tidbits instead.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the muffin tins for a few minutes, then carefully invert them onto a serving platter. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes!
