Mini Pineapple Upside-Down Cakes


These are really cute and because they use boxed cake mix, they are pretty easy to make any time. If you have a big muffin pan (that cooks six big muffins instead of 12 regular ones) then you can probably get away with doing a whole pineapple ring. If not, you may have to cut your pineapple (or use crushed) to make it fit. Definitely WAIT until they have cooled off some to take them out of the pan, or they will not present well! So good, though.

Mini Pineapple Upside-Down Cakes

Ingredients
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 (20 ounce) cans sliced pineapple
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
12 maraschino cherries, halved

Directions
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and butter; mix well. Spoon into 24 greased muffin cups. Drain pineapple, reserving the juice. Trim pineapple to fit the muffin cups; place one ring in each cup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oils and 1-1/4 cups of the reserved pineapple juice; mix well. Spoon over pineapple, filling each cup two-thirds full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. After they have cooled down a bit, invert on a wire rack and then place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
