Easy Individual Pineapple Upside-Down Cakes
Here’s what you’ll need to make them:
Cooking spray
1 stick butter
½ cup brown sugar
½ can of chopped pineapples + 2 tbsp of its juice
12 maraschino cherries
1 cake box mix
3 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Yields: 12 cakes
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray your muffin pan generously with cooking spray and set aside.
Melt your stick of butter in a microwave-safe bowl (I just bought these for the holidays). Add brown sugar and mix thoroughly.
Add the butter and brown sugar mixture into each section of your muffin pan. Place one maraschino cherry in the center of each and then surround it with pieces of pineapple.
Using an electric mixer, beat together cake mix, eggs and vegetable oil until ingredients are thoroughly combined. Pour into each individual section of your muffin pan.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Turn the pan upside down on a baking sheet and your cakes should pop out, revealing the cooked brown sugar, pineapples, and maraschino cherry. Enjoy!
Pin for later!
