Today I made a favorite treat for my dad; pineapple upside down cake & cupcakes!
Ingredients....yes I used a box mix, the recipes I were finding used box mix. But instead of the water that the recipe called for I used the pineapple juice. That gave the actual cake a pineapple flavor. Recipe and directions at end of post.
The cupcakes. In the bottom of the cupcake pan I melted butter and added a spoonful of brown sugar then added my pineapple wedge and a cherry.
Finished product, a delicious cupcake!
The cake! My dad doesn't like cherries so I only put a few on there. I would have preferred much more. But same deal for the cake, in the bottom of the pan before adding the cake mix I mixed together a concoction of melted butter and brown sugar then added pineapple rings and cherries.
MY dad and Jeff have already had two cupcakes a piece! They are giving rave reviews!
