[Channeling Michael from the Office] "There has been....a MURDER!!!"
This weekend Max and I went to a murder mystery. It was set in the 1920s, so me and Max got to dress up fancy and make some Prohibition era cocktails. I was Torchy, the lounge singer, and Max was Ernie G. Ambler.
We wanted to stay true to the times, so I searched foods that were popular in the '20s. Apparently jello molds were a big hit, but I was not really interested in making one of those. Another popular dessert choice was Pineapple Upside Down Cake. That sounded much more interesting. Deviled eggs were also a big hit in the '20s, so Max whipped up a batch of those and everyone loved them.
Since I thought individual sizes would be much more manageable for a party, I found this recipe for mini pineapple upside down cakes. Enjoy!!
Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes

AllRecipes
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 2 (20 ounce) cans sliced pineapple (save the juice)
- 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 24 maraschino cherries
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and butter; mix well. Spoon into 24 greased muffin cups. Drain pineapple, reserving the juice. Trim pineapple to fit the muffin cups; place one ring in each cup. Place one cherry in the center of the pineapple ring.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oils and 1-1/4 cups of the reserved pineapple juice; mix well. Spoon over pineapple, filling each cup two-thirds full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Wait 3-5 minutes. Run a knife around the cake to loosen it. Place a cooling rack on top of the muffin pan and then invert to free the cakes.
