  • 1/2 cup (120ml) pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin or mini cake pan and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat.
  3. Divide the melted butter and brown sugar mixture evenly among the muffin cups, covering the bottom of each cup.
  4. Place a pineapple ring in each muffin cup on top of the butter and sugar mixture. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
  5. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the granulated sugar and egg until light and fluffy.
  7. Add the pineapple juice, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture, and mix until well combined.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, spreading it over the pineapple and cherry in each cup.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  11. Remove the mini pineapple upside down cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  12. Carefully invert the cakes onto a wire rack or serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.
