mini upside down pineapple cakes

a friend brought these ah-maz-ing

mini upside down pineapple cakes 

to a party, and I had to try them~

they are so easy and delish~

all you'll need is:

one yellow cake mix 

(and the necessary items to make the mix: eggs, oil, etc...)

a can of sliced pineapple rings

brown sugar to spoon into each cupcake

about 1/2 cup melted butter 

cupcake pans or mini bunt pans

spray your pans generously with non-stick cooking spray

and place a pineapple ring in each bunt or cupcake space (no liner needed)

I only had one bunt pan so I had to cut down the pineapple rings for the 

cupcake pan, don't worry they come out the same for either...

spoon a heap of brown sugar (at least two tablespoons, more if you like)

over each pineapple ring, then drizzle about 2 teaspoons of 

the melted butter over each (not shown)...

mix the yellow cake according to package directions and drop about 1/3 cup

over each section...then bake about 17-22 minutes 

allow to cool completely then carefully slice around edges with a butter knife

to make sure no edges are sticking, then turn your pan upside down 

and whallla, how cute are these? 

Either type of pan produces a yummy mini upside down pineapple cake....

happy baking!
