Pineapple upside down cupcakes

Pineapple shaped pineapple upside down cupcakes.

Made these for desert, although I have to admit I cheated.  I didn't follow the direction on the package, I used a box cake. I know this would not qualify for real baking, but they still turned out good. And so Cute!

 Recipe I followed:

1 box Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Pineapple Supreme Cake Mix 18.25 oz - mix according to direction.

1 can pineapple rings

1 jar mariachi cherries

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup melted butter

1/3 cup flour

Coconut Oil (recipe called for vegetable shortening)

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F

Using the Nordic Ware Pineapple Upside Down Mini Cake Pan 

Grease the pan with the coconut oil and dust with flower

Place 1 tbs melted butter in each cup

Divide brown sugar evenly in cups

Place 1 pineapple ring in each cup

Place 1 cherry in the center of each pineapple

Pour cake batter in each cup to about 2/3 full

Bake in oven for 23 to 25 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.

We had extra batter so we also made some in a mini loaf pan.

I altered the recipe by cutting the pineapple rings in half 

Place 1/2 pineapple ring in each mini loaf.
