Description

Gluten Free Pineapple Upside Down easy recipe using butter and box cake mix.


Ingredients

  • 1 box Gluten Free yellow box cake mix
  • 1 jar of Maraschino Cherries
  • 2 cans of the Pineapple Chunks (Affiliate Link) or slices with a part of it cut out to fit in to the cupcake tin
  • 1/3 cup of Unsalted Butter
  • 2/3 cup packed Brown Sugar (Affiliate Link)
  • 2 large non-stick Muffin pans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. First, I sprayed each cupcake pan hole with a nonstick spray. I was sure to go up the sides, so the cake doesn't stick.
  3. I then melted the butter and mixed in the brown sugar (Affiliate Link) in a saucepan. Don't burn the butter.
  4. Pour the brown sugar (Affiliate Link) mixture into each muffin area evenly.  Then, I added 7 pineapples pieces (about 7 pieces for this extra large muffin tin) and 1 full-size cherry and pressed it into the brown sugar (Affiliate Link).
  5. Follow instructions on the box and make the batter. With a large spoon, add the batter to the top of the pineapples and cherries. Slowly add the batter so the pineapples or cherry do not move inside.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cake batter is not sticking to the toothpick.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes, take a knife, and separate the outer edge of the cupcake from the pan.
  8. Then use a cooling rack and place the top over the muffin and turn it over. The cupcakes should fall right out.
  9. Let cool completely or eat warm, your choice
