A Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a favorite for many reasons! For starters, it’s bite-sized and easy to make, but it tastes like a full-sized cake! What makes this mini cake even better is the lemon juice glaze on top that caramelizes into a candy-like topping when baked. This fun pineapple upside-down recipe is one that you’ll want to try again and again, especially for gatherings of friends and family.
Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipe Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter (softened)
1 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed)
7 pineapple slices (fresh or canned)
9 maraschino cherries (with stems removed)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the butter and sugar into an ungreased 8×8 baking dish and place in the preheating oven to melt together.
When melted, remove from oven and arrange pineapple slices in a ring around the outer edge of the pan and put a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice. Pour glaze evenly overall.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25–30 minutes. Remove from oven when a toothpick comes out dry when inserted into cake (cake will appear golden brown when done). Let cool before inverting onto plate or platter. To serve, cut into squares or rectangles with a sharp knife that has been dipped in cold water (so it won’t stick to cake). Makes 16 servings; about 50 pieces.
NOTE: If preferred, use canned pineapple slices (in natural juices or in juice) and maraschino cherries to make this recipe; drain pineapple thoroughly before pouring glaze over the top.
