Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 can Canned pineapple slices
• 1 jar Maraschino cherries
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
5. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat until bubbly.
6. Spoon the brown sugar mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup. Place a pineapple slice and a maraschino cherry in each cup.
7. Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, invert the pan onto a wire rack to remove the cupcakes and let them cool completely.
10. Serve the cupcakes upside down to reveal the pineapple topping. Enjoy!
