Number Of Ingredients 7

1 duncan hines pineapple supreme cake mix
oil, and eggs called for on cake mix box
pineapple juice, in place of water called for on box (you don't have to use pineapple juice, I just think it enhances the flavor!)

1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
24 maraschino cherries

Steps:

  • Mix the cake as directed on box, substitute pineapple juice from the canned pineapple in place of water called for in recipe. (Optional).
  • Melt the butter.
  • Spray cupcake pan with cooking spray. (Do not use paper liners!).
  • Place one teaspoon of melted butter in the bottom of each cup of the pan.
  • Add one tablespoon of brown sugar on top of the melted butter.
  • Place one cherry in the center.
  • Scatter the tidbits around the cherry to form a circle.
  • Add cake mix on top of the pineapple. (3/4 full).
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cupcakes are cooked.
  • Let the pan cool on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes.
  • Run a knife along the inside edge.
  • Invert cupcake pan on the cooling rack.
  • Some of the brown sugar and pineapple might stay behind in the pan, just scrap it out and lay it on top of the cupcakes.

Not a fan. The cupcakes were too sweet and the pineapple topping was too caramelized.

These cupcakes were easy to make and turned out so cute! The pineapple topping was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.
