Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes

My sister Bridgette found this recipe and made this tonight and loved it! She said it was way easy and supper quick! She made them while she was cooking dinner. Try this one!!!!


Recipe From: Bridgette / Big Mamas Home Kitchen

This recipe will make a batch of 6 jumbo size or 8 muffin size cakes.


Cake Ingredients:
2 eggs
2/3 C white sugar
4 T pineapple juice
2/3 C all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Topping:
1/2 stick butter
2/3 C brown sugar
1-can pineapple rings
6-maraschino cherries


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray your muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.


In a mixing bowl, add eggs, white sugar, and pineapple juice. Beat for 2 minutes. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and turn mixer back on for 2 minutes.


In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and add the brown sugar. Stir on low heat for one minute.


Place a pineapple ring in the bottom of each jumbo muffin tin. Add a cherry in the middle of each pineapple. Spoon over a layer of the warm brown sugar mixture. Pour cake mixture over to fill muffin tin 3/4 of the way full. If you are using regular muffin tins, you will need to cut down the rings to fit or just use pineapple tidbits.


Bake jumbo cakes for 25 minutes. Bake regular cakes for 20 minutes. This is the hard part...waiting for warm cakes to finish baking.


Remove from the oven. Let cool in pan for 3 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each cake to help loosen in case it sticks a little. Place a wire cooling rack on top, and quickly flip over.


Place wire rack of cakes on baking sheet to cool. Now it's time to Enjoy!
