Pineapple Upside Down Cake is one of the pleasures of life! That said, there are any number of variations on this classic cake. There is some debate about when this cake was created, but it seems to have appeared in printed recipes as early as the mid-1920's when pineapple was considered fairly exotic in most American households!
In making the cake this time, the idea was to create individual cakes that would be the perfect dessert serving. This was accomplished by using a large muffin tin - well, two actually - as the recipe makes 10 single pineapple upside down cakes. And they are as delicious as they are beautiful!
1 box of pineapple cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 can pineapple slices (20oz) packed in pineapple juice (juice reserved)
1 cup pineapple juice and water (contents of can plus enough water to make 1 cup)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 stick of unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar (loosely packed - you won't need all of it)
19 maraschino cherries
You will need two large muffin tins (each one containing six wells)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt butter in small sauce pan and set aside.
Open can of pineapple slices and drain juice into measuring cup. Add enough water to make 1 cup of liquid.
Remove the pineapple slices from the can. Chances are good that they will be a little too big to fit in the bottom of the muffin tin wells, so using kitchen shears or a paring knife, cut out a piece of the ring (between 1/4 and 1/2 inch) so that the ring becomes the right size for the wells when reconnected.
Place cake mix in large mixing bowl and add pineapple juice/water mixture, baking powder, baking soda, eggs and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth - two minutes or so with an electric mixer. Set aside.
Place about a tablespoon of butter in 10 of muffin tin wells. With a brush (or clean fingers work fine, also!) smear the melted butter around the inside walls of the well. Sprinkle two loose teaspoons of brown sugar on top of the butter and gently pat down. Place a resized pineapple ring on top of the brown sugar and place a cherry in the middle of the ring.
Once all the wells are prepared with butter, brown sugar, pineapple rings and cherries, fill them with cake batter until cake batter reaches about 3/4 of the way. You must leave room for the cake batter to rise, which it will when it bakes.
Place in oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and they spring back when gently touched. Transfer muffin tins to cooling rack and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes.
Using the dull side of a small, thin knife (like a paring knife) gently go around the edges of the cakes to make sure they aren't stuck to the pan. Invert pans on to cooling rack AND LEAVE THEM THERE for about 2 minutes. Gently give a tap to each one of the wells. This will help anything that might be stuck to fall into place. Slowly life the muffin tins straight up.
Allow cakes to cool completely on cooling rack. Enjoy!

“Just because something is upside down, or backwards-does not mean it’s not great or beautiful”. -love that Kevin! I’m going to steal your line 🙌🙏🏻❤️
Hi Gabby!! You go right ahead and use that one! Thanks so much!
Beautiful presentation of this delicious recipe for this simple pineapple cake!
Thank you!
Kevin, this is a terrific idea! I just ordered 2 jumbo muffin pans......thanks for sharing!
My mom made hers in a cast iron skillet and put a scant sprinkle of cinnamon over the brown sugar and butter which added another dimension of flavor.
Hi MrScottie68! You'll find that those muffin pans come in handy for other things. You mom's idea of putting a touch of cinnamon with the brown sugar is a great one!! Thanks!
I just made this recipe but used my home canned peaches. Used the light syrup from the peaches in the cake, plus a bit of lemon juice (a tablespoon to add some zip) and topped with the peaches and a few raspberries (ala Melba)- delicious!
Hi June! What a great change-up with your peaches! I'll bet it was scrumptious! I may have to try it that way next time (love anything peachy!) - and a nice touch with the raspberries! Thanks!!
Love the 1950s decor and kitchenware! Brings back great memories. Kids of today will never know how great life was then.
Thank you! Glad it brings back good memories!
My Mom’s favorite cake! This is an absolutely adorable idea for her 96th birthday this October. 👍🏼🍍
Hi Jane!! It makes it even better that it's a favorite of your Mom's!! This would be a wonderful way to celebrate her on her special day! Thanks!

I just happened to catch your most recent podcast yesterday and got a jump on today's episode.
What an ingenious idea! It's so simple, yet it's really perfect! Maybe you aren't the first person to have had this idea, but it sure got my imagination going!
This looks like a winner for Easter this year! Thanks again!
Take care!! Be well!!!
Hi Greg! Thanks for reminding me - I put a link to the podcast of today's episode in the description...I had forgotten to do that earlier. The idea of using these muffin tins for cakes and other things has been around for a long time, but it's something that I wanted to try and I'm glad I finally did. Years ago, someone had a dinner party and we were served individual meatloaves made in these large muffin tins - it was another great idea! Hope all is well with you - thanks so much!
These look like something I'd buy at a fancy bakery!! Thanks!! You gave us all a great idea for Easter dessert. One time my friend was making a pineapple upside down cake when she realized she didn't have maraschino cherries. She used dried prunes. It was good but not as pretty.
Hi Peggy! These would be great for Easter! Interesting substitution with the prunes, but that little dot of bright red really gives these eye appeal! Thanks!
What a great idea! You left the pineapple juice with enough added water to make one cup, out of the recipe...just thought you'd want to know.
Hi Hands That Cook! Thanks so much - I saw I had it in the directions but not on the ingredient list -- I fixed it! The blueberry Bundt cake you made last month looked SO good! Thanks!!
@@cavalcadeoffood Thank you Kevin so much. TFW God bless!
These look fantastic & I just know they will be delicious! I think I'll add some coconut whipped cream on the side too. Yum! Thanks guys, Happy Easter & stay safe out there!
Hi Silver Bubbles! They were sooo good but a little coconut whipped cream wouldn't hurt!! LOL Happy Easter to you!!
These mini pineapple upside down cakes are delicious. I made some today for thanking tomorrow a dozen and half, and my family demolished them..lol. now I need to make more for Thanksgiving..hahaha. thank you for shareing
Hi Rosalie - glad the mini pineapple upside down cakes were a big hit!
Brilliant method for making pineapple upside down. Really elevates the presentation.
Thanks for sharing the great idea to bake it in muffin tin instead the usual bake in big baking pan that need to cut .
You're welcome, Richard. Hope you give the cakes a try!
Your kitchen....!!!!! Its so cool!!!!
Thanks, Melissa!
THIS WAS A HIT AT LAST YEARS CHRISTMAS PARTY, AND IM MAKING THIS AGAIN TOMORROW FOR A FAMILY GATHERING 🥰
Hi Victoria - glad it was a big hit! Thanks!
@cavalcadeoffood No no thank you!!!
Welcome back Ralph! Your two together are the bomb!
Thank you June!
Sometimes I get busy with work or other obligations that keep me away but I seem to always find my way back to that kitchen!
I don't use OIL anymore... I substitute it with Applesauce .. YUM
Great substitute for the oil - thanks, Judi!
@@cavalcadeoffood
Not only is applesauce better for you.. it does not change the taste... but in this recipe it could even enhance it.
Ok! These were wonderful!!! A big hit at church potluck today! I watched your video as I was making them yesterday. Supply chain issues in my grocery store meant NO sliced ring pineapple. So I did a combination of crushed pineapple and pineapple rid bits! They were delicious! Thank you!
Hi Marsha! Looks like you found a good alternative to the rings! Glad everyone liked these cakes! Thanks!
"BRAVO... Darling... BRAVO"
Thanks so much, Judi!
I need to get myself some oversized muffin tins so I can try this out. A similar shortcut version I remember from my Boy Scout days assembles a similar combination of ingredients on a square of aluminum foil, except it uses an old fashioned (cake) donut in place of using raw cake batter. Wrapped tightly and sat for a few minutes on the coals (usually after steak and potato "foil dinners") they always came out delicious!
Hi Marc! Thanks for sharing the old Boy Scout version!
Beautiful cursive writing...a lost art!
Thanks, Tonya!
Absolutely delightful little desserts.. 🍍🥮
Smiled all the way through this video. You two are so charming 🥂
Thanks so much, Julia!
RUclips is so weird. I was simply randomly thinking if single pineapple upside down cakes and this video came across my suggestions.
I say all that to say, thank you for uploading this video. 😊
You see 10 servings, I see 5 servings LOL 👍😋
LOL! Enjoy!
Those came out great! So easy. Om my list to try! You guys are so entertaining! Be well! 😎
Thanks, Sharon! They really were easy - hope you give them a try!
Real easy to do. I like that. Thanks
You're welcome! Hope you try it!
HOPE YOU ARE STILL PRAYING DAILY.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love pineapple up side down cake 🎂. Those look delicious 😋 can't wait to make them 😍 😋 😊. I like the individual servings. Thank you. I'm new to your channel and can't wait to watch more videos.
Hi Debora! I hope you give these a try and welcome to the channel!
Can hardly wait to bake these. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
You're welcome, Rebecca!
I wanted to know if you have ever thought about making a water pie or water pie with Sprite. My grandmother was very good making a water pies. She said you made them during World War II and they started during the Depression then they started out a Sprite later on when it was available. I think that could be something really interesting for you to make. Suggestion and I think Ralph would like a lot your friend in Paris Illinois Mike and miss Patty Cakes
Hi Beryl! I will have to research water pie - it's something I've never heard of, but I'm sure there are recipes in some of my old cookbooks. If I can find a good recipe for it, I'll give it a try! Hope all is well in Paris!
@@cavalcadeoffood if you can't find the recipe I can get it for you. I still got it my great-grandmother taught me how to make it. It is excellent. It is really cheap and it was great to make during war times when sugar was rationed and during the Depression. In fact I made one just lately what the help of my friends who could see when everything in the store was so short. It was so delicious I had to make four more for my neighbors
Those are adorable and getting made tomorrow. Question is am I going to use the vanilla cake mix or drive to get the pineapple,??? Your personalities just add to the treat. Awesome cakes. ❤️😊
Hi Karen - the vanilla cake mix will work fine, but you will have less pineapple flavor in the cake. Thanks!
What a great idea. I think Duncan Hines is the best of the mixes anyway. I would need to get the big muffin pans, or just make the cake. Welcome back Ralph!
Hi Scooter! You can also make this in two 8 inch round cake pans or even a 9X13 if you don't have the muffin pans. Enjoy!
@@cavalcadeoffood Yeah, I was thinking of doing the 2 8 inch pans. I really like how your pineapple upside down muffins looked!
I agree, Duncan Hines is by far the best cake mix out there! 👍
I have to try these. Besides looking delicious, they also look beautiful
So good to have you back Ralph. I was starting to worry about you.
Thanks again for the wonderful video. Already looking forward to the next one.
Thanks, Sarah! They really are yummy - hope you try these!
Como si entendiera lo que dice
Pero me gusta la receta
These cakes are delicious! I baked them using your recipe, and they are so tasty! Mine didn't turn out quite as pretty, used too much batter. My dad said they are better than his mother's recipe. They are such a nice dessert for Christmas! Thank you, Kevin for sharing!
Thanks for letting me know, NAN! These are nice for the holidays! Merry Christmas!
Baker, I thank you for this knowledge
You are very welcome, Kenneth!
I want to know where you got that refrigerator in the back that has the push button to open the door? Lol when I was growing up, that's what we had. Lol
Hi SFinn - I got that fridge at an estate sale many years ago - it is heavy! Thanks!
I have been planning on making one big Pineapple Upside Down Cake, but your advice about portion sizes and ‘slivers’ was brilliant! Those Muffin Pans, in my cupboard, are going to get a lot of use now!
Hi Mike! I hope you give this version a try! Thanks!
Could a person substitute crushed pineapple in place of the the slices, and it still taste as good?
Yes, you could use crushed pineapple (drained) if you prefer. Thanks!
Wow ill surely try your recipe it looks soo good
I fixed these for a birthday party and man they were a winner. They were great, thanks so much.rt
Hi Ronald! Thanks for letting me know! Glad these were a hit at the party!
Thank you so much blessing
Another triumph! Thanks for Mother P's tip on the cake mixes. Pineapple upside down never goes out of style.
Hi John! This is one classic cake that endures! Thanks so much!
Perfection in the pineapple singles.. And my dream oven... That and the Flair w/ double ovens & cooking rack & vent top... I grew up with both.. My grandmother's Calvinator.... My parents Flair...
Sigh.....
Dream kitchen ♥️ lovely demonstration
Uprightfossil, Thank you so much 😊
Yummy recipe my friend cake looks yummy
These were yummy! Thanks!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!!! And I've lately been contemplating converting some of my favorite cake recipes into cupcakes mostly for the portion control factor. However, in this case, you get both, the presentation being on point AND portion control!!! BRILLIANT!
The idea of portion control is great - but don't tell anyone that I ate two of these!! :-) Couldn't help myself! Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood giggle... erm... that is still better than eating the entire cake... Not saying I have.. not saying I haven't.. which basically means I have. 2 cupcakes are better than an entire cake. LOL. Thank you for what you do. It's amazing.
Where’s the whip cream?
Hi, I would like your opinion on if I added a little crushed pineapple in the carmel mixture or adding crushed pineapple to the batter, will it make the cake sink?
Hi Jennifer - if you use just a little in the topping it shouldn't sink the cake, but I don't know if I would add it to the batter. It might add too much moisture. Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood Thanks so much!
I was so taken by this recipe that I ordered a set of jumbo muffin tins, 2 for $11 from Amazon, and am excited to try it for Easter.
I'm hoping to find pineapple cake mix, but if not yellow cake mix will do. Take care!!
Hi Greg! So excited that you are making these!! Please let us know how they turn out - they should be a big hit for Easter! Great deal on the muffin tins! Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood look forward to the fried noodles tomorrow!!
Hello, so I want to make these for my son's b-day party, can I use yellow cake mix or does it have to be the pineapple 🍍 one?
@@veronicagutierrez5617 I couldn't find pineapple either! So I used the yellow cake mix. It worked just fine!!
Pleeease don't use your fingers, there are pastry brushes.
Thank you
Great tip on adding the extra baking soda and baking powder. These look delicious. Thank you Ralph and Kevin! Have a great day!
Hi Terenia - that was mom's trick and it's just a little insurance when using boxed mixes. Glad you liked the recipe - thanks!
You are a genius!

Nom nom nom 😋

Hi guys 🙋🏻♀️ those little pineapple cakes look fabulous 😍 what a great idea and perfect for portion control lol. Never had pineapple upside down cake before
Hi Angie!! I hope all is well with you!! If you like pineapple, you will like these cakes. If you can't find pineapple cake mix you can use a yellow cake mix, just be sure to use the pineapple juice in place of the water - that will give the cake itself some pineapple flavor. Thanks!
I'm thinking I've done this.
A great way to make these individual cakes.
Wow my dad used to make the big cake version of this for dessert on Sunday afternoon dinners in Winter.
Since getting diabetes, I have to make a keto version of this but with almond and coconut flour it will be good. I can get pineapple flavoring plus monkfruit caramel style brown sugar substitute. Bake with stevia or monkfruit sugar substitute. With unsweetened pineapple and a tiny cherry for looks, it will be a great alternative for us keto and diabetic dessert lovers. It CAN BE DONE!
Sounds like you have a good plan for making this cake keto! Enjoy!!
Greetings from Cleveland! What a wonderful and easy recipe! I made them this evening for small New Year’s Eve dinner party. Going to share the rest with neighbors! Just got introduced to Cavalcade of Food and love it!
Hi Garrick!! So glad you liked the recipe!! Great to hear from Cleveland! Happy New Year!
yummmmm!!!!!! as im not a big pine apple lover , i was thinking maybe apple slices ,dont know if you can get them canned, or maybe peaches? i bet blue berry would also be good ,or the frzn wielders fruit mix maybe? thanks for letting me know about the pine apple mix ;];] great job!!!
Hi Patty! Canned peaches would work as a substitute if you didn't want to use pineapple. I've had a peach upside down cake - it was delicious! Thanks!
I am so happy you made these! I recently made these with the residents at work. We used regular size muffin tins and they came out too ooey gooey at the bottom. We put too much butter and brown sugar at the bottom. We used our new tabletop Oster oven (convection). I didn't make a conversion from regular oven to convection. Anyway, after watching this, I want to try it again with larger muffin tins. Any suggestions for making the conversion for baking? I read to reduce the temp by 25 degrees. Any suggestions are welcome! :)
Hi Going Slightly Mad! Actually, I have never used a convection oven before, so I don't have any advice about how to convert for baking. I would guess a lower temperature and/or shorter baking time, but I'm sure there are some directions online somewhere. Hope your next batch come out well - thanks!!
Hi, guys. Your recipe choices always interest me. So. thanks for another one.
This happens to be my absolute favorite cake. Coincidentally, I made this last week in my 10” cast iron skillet. I make it from scratch, folding in whipped egg whites at the end, but I tell you what, your recipe is very appealing. I’m going to use a mix next time.
Just as an aside, when they downsized cake mixes years ago, The Cake Mix Doctor recommended adding 7 level tablespoons of flour to the mix. I always do so, because the mixes are too skimpy now. The extra flour makes up the difference.
Hi Norma! I'll bet that cast iron cake was wonderful - something wonderful about the way the topping and cake bakes in that heavy iron! Thanks so much for the tip about adding flour to the cake mixes. When they downsized from 18oz I wasn't sure what they were taking out, but I could see the difference in the cakes. I'll give this a try next time I use a mix. Thanks so much!
Oh, I subscribed as soon as I saw your kitchen. Love it!!! I love retro!❤️
Thanks, Sandy! Great to meet another retro fan!
Absolutely delicious, now ya make me wanna make a pineapple upside-down cake. One of my favorites still a tad warm from the oven. Have a wonderful day fellas.
Thanks - when these are still slightly warm they are a real treat!
Yummilicious!! And thanks for reminding us that it's perfectly okay to use a box mix once in a while 😃👍
You're welcome, Duane! Box mixes are great shortcuts!
I WILL try this one. I love pineapple upside down cake, but this is perfect for a dinner party dessert. As always, thanks guys.
Hi Jane! These individual cakes are so good and a great dessert for a dinner party! Thanks!
My favorite cake next to coconut cake. I had not thought about making individual cakes, lol !
Hi Lynne - a good coconut cake is hard to beat! Thanks!
Sunday pot luck dinner here I come! Thanks to the both of you for a great video on making these in U.D. Pineapple muffins!
Glad they were a hit, Marsha!
Who's Ralph?
Ralph is the cameraman for this episode. Thanks!
Great idea!! I'm adding ingredience to my shopping list to pick up tomorrow. Great for Easter and another way to use our muffin tins! First time I saw you use that beautiful stove! Thanks!
Hi Nancy! These would be wonderful for Easter! Hope you give it a try!
Lovely
Thank you!
Beautiful and tasty looking. The box cakes are great. They are very 50s.
Hi bg147 - any pineapple fan would love these and box mix is a great shortcut! Thanks!
The cherry juice makes the batter a beautiful rose 🌹 tint. Thanks for the tip on baking soda/powder
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
very good
Thanks, Roger!
I usually make my mom’s pineapple upside down cake for Wielkanoc but I think that this year I might try yours. They certainly make for a better presentation!! Thanks for the idea.
Hi John! I always thought that this cake - in all forms - was really a beautiful looking cake. Something about the yellow, red and caramelized top that just looks appealing. Thanks!
I used cupcake lrg liners n crushed pineapple (as something different) guest loved it!
Great idea! Thanks for letting me know!
Will never add baking soda nor baking powder to a box cake mix. My oven is a mess.
Hi Anna - sorry you had such a terrible experience. I've been adding it to my box mixes for 30 years with good results.
I'll take two. Mom use to make the whole cake and she would be sure to cut us a piece that had the whole pineapple. Those look delicious. Thank You
Hi Dean! The pineapple slices can help define the pieces of a whole cake - make it nice that everyone gets the same thing! Thanks!
Can't wait to make this in my camp oven for my annual camping trip with friends!
Hi Dave - great idea! Thanks!
My grandmother had a push button Kelvinator refrigerator… These look delicious.. I watched a lady make them yesterday and I bought the stuff to make them this coming weekend. I work 12 hours a day through the week and only 8 on Saturdays so my escape from the world is baking . Sometimes I make simple stuff like this and other times I actually create something. 😊
Hi Lady Smith - hope you can enjoy the time and make these! Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood I will be making them today. I’m making a double batch to share with the businesses next to mine . Thank you.
is that your garage? are all those appliances your collection? or is this a store?
Hi - it's in a building that houses my collection. It's a not a store. Thanks!
Very yummy 😋😋😋. Thank you for sharing 🤩🥰🙏🏻
You're welcome, Marina!
Ok. Now I have no reason not to make that cake. I love that idea. Thank you once again for another great idea
Hi Cindy!! Hope you try the recipe! Thanks!
Great tip on spreading the butter up the sides of the pan!
It really helps release the cakes!
Those are absolutely beautiful!
Thanks, Marsha!
I love your recipes remind me of home
Hi Pam! So glad the videos bring good memories! Thanks!
How can I print the recipe?
Hi Jo-Ann - you should be able to copy the recipe from the video description and paste it into Microsoft Word and print from there. Thanks!
They look delicious 👍👍
Hi Jainy! They were - and it was so hard to just eat one! Thanks!
Do you have a cookbook?
Hi DD - no cookbook, but I'd like to do one someday. Thanks!
Just made these. Delicious! I will make it again.
Hi Regina! Glad you liked these cakes - thanks for letting me know!
@@cavalcadeoffood should they be refrigerated?
@@reginasmith3149 They don't have to be, but they should be kept in an airtight container. Thanks!
Good tips 👍
Thanks, star Droplet!
LOOKS YUMMY!!!!
These were, Ms Howell! Thanks!
Could you tell me how do you make those delicious cakes without the Duncan Hines cake mix? The Duncan Hines cake mix is like cheating some and I making my cakes or anything else from scratch. Like the time I made brownies in my 1925 Everhot stove and they came out fine. So when you can give the recipe that would be nice.
