Tips:

  • Use fresh or canned pineapple. Fresh pineapple will give your upside-down cake jars a more intense flavor, but canned pineapple is a good option if you're short on time.
  • Brown the butter. Browning the butter will give your upside-down cake jars a richer, more caramelized flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your upside-down cake jars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the upside-down cake jars in a water bath. This will help to prevent the jars from cracking and will also help to keep the cake moist.
  • Let the upside-down cake jars cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.

Conclusion:

Pineapple upside-down cake jars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They're a fun twist on the classic pineapple upside-down cake, and they're sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
