This is an old fashioned upside down cake recipe from my german grandmother from scratch. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds.

Because i love mini desserts i decided to go with a smaller version instead. She used this same cake batter for many different fruits as an alternative to pineapple. Drain pineapple reserving the juice. She often used fresh italian prunes or pitted fresh cherries.

Beat on medium for 2 minutes. In a large bowl combine the cake mix eggs oil and reserved pineapple juice. Spoon over pineapple filling each cup three fourths full. Just like the classic dessert but in mini form.

For the record i almost bought a jumbo muffin pan so that i could fit an entire pineapple ring on top of these. This caramel apple upside down cake has been pretty popular on the blog and lately all i ve had on my mind was making a pineapple upside down version. Place a cherry half cut side down in the center of each. Easter is quickly approaching and one of my favorite recipes to bake for this holiday is pineapple upside.
