Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes Recipe

In my opinion everything is cuter when it’s miniature. Every year my hubby requests a pineapple upside down cake for his birthday, but this year he wanted to change it up a bit and have mini cakes instead. Here is how I made them.
⬇️⬇️⬇️ RECIPE BELOW ⬇️⬇️⬇️
👩🏻‍🍳 MINI PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKES
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
1 cup pineapple juice
½ cup oil
3 eggs
1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices
10 Maraschino cherries
4 tablespoons melted butter
10 tablespoons brown sugar
Bake at 325F or 165C for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
➡️ Wilton jumbo muffin pans

Hello Shirani! I made the mini pineapple upside down cakes today (7/22/24)! My hubby was so impressed and ate two of them!! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are so welcome. Aww, I'm happy to hear your hubby enjoyed the cake. Much love to you both! 🤗

[@bonnielogan6895]

I never had a problem knowing what to do with the extra pineapple!

[@PhoenixRising734]

I've been wanting to make individual pineapple upside down cakes and have all the ingredients on hand. I have pineapple slices and tidbits bc I wasn't sure if the slices would fit in my regular muffin tins. I'm glad I came across your recipe. I like your presentation.

[@CookingwithShirani]

Thank you! I'm so happy you came across my recipe too 🤗. The slices won't fit in the regular size pan unless you cut it. I hope you enjoy!

[@001Catey]

Thank you for this. Love pineapple upside down cake, using muffin pans is a great idea.

[@eri7-11]

Thanks these were so good. I don't have an oven in Japan. I put them in tins and did on stovetop with steam method (tins surrounded by water). I covered each tin tightly with oil. Started at 1 out of 8 heat on my induction stove. After it warmed up I moved to level 3 and let it simmer and it was done in maybe 10 minutes.

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are so welcome. That's so clever, I've never tried making them on the stovetop. I'm so glad you found a way to make them without an oven. I'm impressed 👏❤️

[@robertlambert5588]

I love this idea, I am going to make these next time we have guests Trying to decide whether to serve with cream, ice cream, or custard, though and based on your trying to cut pineapple with falk to eat For my guests I think I will cut each ring through into bite sizes and reassemble in cups before cooking, thanks for sharing and you have a voice so soft you remind me of my first teacher at school, kindest lady I ever new

[@CookingwithShirani]

Awww, thank you! You are so sweet ❤️. Since you are going to cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces I was thinking maybe you can use crushed pineapple. I've never tried it, but just an idea 🤔😊

[@Joy-TheLazyCatLady2]

I love pineapple upside down cake. It's my favorite cake. I love these mini cakes, too. I think I would put the butter and brown sugar in the cakes without the pineapple. It' would be like a frosting or glaze. Just a thought I had. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing this! I can't wait to try it out. 😻😻😻

[@CHOSEN_BYGOD]

Looks delicious.. Thank you.😊

[@CookingwithShirani]

My pleasure 😊

[@jamesvoigt7275]

I like that the cakes did not come out of the pans perfectly. Viewers will likely have some of the same results, and it's nice to know that experienced people also go through the same things they do. Running a plastic knife around the edges is a good suggestion. If I made these, I would put a teaspoon of solid butter in each well and put the pans in a heated oven for a minute or two to melt the butter thus saving me a step in the process. What I would do a bit differently is to put butter and sugar in the wells without pineapple and add different fruit or possibly nuts. I use silicone baking cups and like them very much. Rarely does anything stick, and if the contents are reluctant to release, I can push on the flexible bottom to help them along. Also, I have never seen maraschino cherries spoil in the refrigerator, even if they get pushed to the back and are forgotten for a couple of years.

[@CookingwithShirani]

Thank you. That's a great idea to use silicone baking cups. I have a silicone muffin mold, but I never reach for it. I'm sure if I use it one time and see how good it is, I'll never go back 😊

Also if you add a can of coconut milk with that pineapple juice according to recipe measurements it becomes a pina colada upsidedown pineapple cake yummy

[@TheRepublican777]

@@CookingwithShirani I did it one time but I made it a coconut pineapple tres leche cake so technically a pina colada tres leches because with the pineapple and the cherries still on top I used extra coconut milk to soak it in, it was pretty good I made it a little too sweet though I had used box pineapple upside down cake mix when I should have tried making it from scratch so I could control the sugar since I'm adding a can of creamy coconut milk and using the pineapple juice instead of water but it was still delicious lol I even sprinkled toasted coconut on the top

Tip: Use pineapple flavored cake mix instead and mix some peacan pieces or any nut pieces of your choice into the cake batter. This is how I make my pineapple upside down cake and everyone loves it. If you put enough butter in the bottom, it will not stick. The butter is the key to an easy release.
