Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes Recipe | Delicious Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup sliced pineapple (canned or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pans

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or use cupcake liners.

    Make sure to grease well to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Topping

    In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and melted butter. Spoon this mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup.

    Ensure the mixture covers the bottom evenly for a nice caramelized layer.
  3. Add Pineapple

    Place a slice of pineapple on top of the brown sugar mixture in each muffin cup.

    You can also add a maraschino cherry in the center for extra flavor.
  4. Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter.

    Mix wet and dry ingredients separately before combining.
  5. Combine and Bake

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fill each muffin cup with batter.

    Do not overmix to keep the cakes light and fluffy.
  6. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Keep an eye on them as oven times may vary slightly.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before inverting onto a plate. Serve warm.

    Enjoy with whipped cream or ice cream for a delightful treat.
