Why You Will Love These Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes
If you grew up loving pineapple upside-down cake, these little cupcakes will take you right back. Made with sweet pineapple, cherries, buttery brown sugar, and soft cake, they have that classic old-fashioned flavor everyone remembers. What is great is we used a cake mix in this recipe and no one will ever know! The flavor is wonderful and my family loves them. Great for family gatherings, church suppers, potlucks, and anytime you want a dessert that feels nostalgic and special without much fuss.
Why These Are Perfect For Any Gathering
These are so great since they are really like an individual serving! They’re beautiful on a dessert tray, easy to serve, and always one of the first things to disappear. If you love old-fashioned desserts that never go out of style, this recipe belongs in your collection. We make them with pinapple rings and with crushed pineapple and they look beautiful!
How Many Does It Make?
This recipe makes between 18 and 24 cupcakes, depending on how you do it. We use a large cup muffin tin (6 muffins) for the pineapple rings and a regular muffin tin for the crushed pineapple. So we get 18 cupcakes, but if you used just 2 regular muffin tins, you would get 24.
Tips and Storage
These can stay our for a day but after that we suggest putting them in the refrigerator. You can make these a day in advance and we think they are great the next day. We have not tried freezing them but they would probably freeze just fine.
