MINI PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 20 regular-size muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray (I like Baker's Joy for baking like this).
• Combine cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and reserved pineapple juice in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer (or you can beat quickly by hand) for about 2 minutes or until it's completely mixed together.
• In another bowl, mix together melted butter and brown sugar.
• Cut each pineapple slice into four pieces.
• To assemble cupcakes, spoon a heaping teaspoon of the brown sugar mixture into the bottom of the tin. Place a cherry in the center (rounded side down) and then place 2 pineapple slices on top. Measure out 1/4 cup of cake batter and pour on top of pineapple slices.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick placed in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges of the cupcakes to loosen them and remove from cupcake pan.
• Serve warm.

UPSIDE-DOWN FRUIT CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray; line bottom with cooking parchment paper.
• In medium bowl, stir 1/3 cup melted butter, 1/3 cup brown sugar and the water until well blended. Stir in dried fruit and pecans to coat evenly. Pour into pan, and spread in an even layer; set aside.
• In small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt; set aside. In large bowl, beat 1/3 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, about 1 minute or until fluffy. Beat in molasses. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. In small bowl, mix milk and brandy. On low speed, beat in one-third of the flour mixture, then half of milk mixture, beating well after each addition, just until smooth. Repeat with flour mixture and milk, ending with flour mixture. Scrape side of bowl occasionally. Pour and spread batter over dried fruit mixture in pan. Tap cake pan on counter 2 to 3 times to eliminate air bubbles from batter.
