Delicious combination of pineapple upside-down cake and cupcakes for the ultimate indulgence that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 12 maraschino cherries without stems, cut in half
  • 3 cans (8 oz) pineapple slices in juice, drained, juice reserved
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1 cup reserved pineapple juice
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously coat 24 standard-size muffin cups (2 3/4x1 1/4-inch) with cooking spray.
  • Melt butter in a 1-quart saucepan, then mix in the brown sugar. Spread about 1 1/4 teaspoons of the brown sugar mixture evenly in the bottom of each cup. Place a cherry half, cut side up, in the center of each cup. Cut each pineapple slice into 4 pieces, then place 2 pieces around the cherry in the center, pressing lightly into the mixture.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend cake mix, pineapple juice, oil, and eggs for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping the sides of the bowl. Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
  • Bake for 19 to 23 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes, then gently loosen the cupcakes with a knife and invert onto a cookie sheet. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes before serving warm. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
