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 ⬇️⬇️⬇️

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

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!

[@lindaparks2475]

I love that you keep everything clean and neat. Yummy!

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. 😻😻😻

[@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 🤔😊

[@sandraslaton6402]

I will definitely try this to service for a party of 30.I will have to bake it 3 times thank you so much.

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are very welcome. You have a lot of work ahead. Have fun and enjoy 🤗

My only question is why just plain cupcakes? Why not just thin slice some peeled, cored apple or pear? Both are also delicious with the butter and brown sugar, especially with a sprinkle of cinnamon with the apple.

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

I made these today and they came out so pretty. Thank you again for the recipe. How would I freeze them so the toppings not stick and not get frost burned?

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are so welcome 😊. To freeze them, I individually wrap each one in plastic wrap, then put it in a zipper bag, then freeze them. When you are ready to eat one, just take it out of the freezer and let it thaw out on the counter. So if I want it in the evening I'll take it out in the morning 😁

[@Paws4It]

Thank you

[@margeserrano2243]

How do you store? Length of days to store can you freeze?

When you needed that little bit more of pineapple juice how about next time using some of the cherry juice? Im watching utube to learn how to cook so is mixing the juices a bad idea or good?

I never thought of doing that before. It will change the color and flavor of the cake.
