MINI UPSIDE-DOWN PINEAPPLE CAKES


Sharon Wolff

INGREDIENTS
2 C flour
1/2 C white sugar
1T baking powder
1 pineapple, cubed
1 egg
3/4 C milk
1/4 C melted butter

STREUSEL
1/4 C melted butter
1/4 C cinnamon
1/3 C packed brown sugar
1/2 C flour

DIRECTIONS
In large bowl, combine 2 C flour, white sugar and baking powder
Puree pineapple in food processor
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients
Add pineapple, egg, milk and 1/4 C melted butter
Mix until blended

In separate bowl, combine cinnamon, brown sugar, 1/2 C flour, 1/4 C melted butter

Spoon batter mixture into greased muffin tins. Drop pea size bits of the streusel onto each section. Streusel will sink to the bottom during the baking process, but this becomes the top!

Bake 30-40 minutes in preheated oven, or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool for a few minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges of each muffin to loosen. Place baking sheet over pan and flip over, releasing the cakes.  They will be moist, rich and heavy. Store in airtight container or fridge. Reheat in microwave and serve with a scoop of ice cream.

Tip  3:  I found out that pureed pineapple tempts even the pickiest non-fruit eater when baked into these cakes!
