Ingredients
-
- 2 x circles of pineapple
- 2 candied cherries and some for garnish
- 1 x medium egg
- 1/3 to 1/2 Cup pineapple syrup
- 4–5 Tablespoons brown sugar in batter
- 3 Tablespoons of brown sugar in bottom of molds
- 4 Tablespoons (2 oz)butter
- 3 x teaspoons of butter in the bottom of the mold
- 3/4 Cups of flour
- 1 x Tablespoon of baking powder (leavening) powder
- pinch of salt.
Instructions
1. First prepare a light and airy cake batter. Beat the melted butter, egg, baking powder, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the syrup.
2. To achieve the perfect texture, pour in the flour in batches. You should have a velvety dough that begs to be baked to perfection. The texture should be thick. The dough should not run off the spatula, but should slowly slide down in a triangle.
3. Place butter in the molds and melt it in the microwave. Brush the sides of the molds with butter so that our cakes will open easily after baking. Next, sprinkle the bottom of each mold with a layer of brown sugar and then gently arrange the pineapple slices and bright cherries, creating a mesmerizing pattern that will reveal itself when the brownies are flipped over.
4. Carefully spoon the pastry onto the pineapple and cherry layer, being careful not to disturb the beautiful composition we have created. Send our mini cakes to the oven, where they will bake until golden brown and irresistibly fragrant, filling your kitchen with the warm aroma of sweet pineapple and caramelized sugar. Baking temperature is 200 Deg. C (392 Deg. F). You will need about 30 minutes.
After baking, run a knife along the sides of the mold. Flip each cake onto a serving platter, revealing a stunning mosaic of pineapples and cherries arranged on a moist and tender crumb. And now our Pineapple Upside Down Mini Cakes are ready to eat: they can be served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or eaten on their own as a delicious treat.
