Pineapple Upside Down Cake

10/15/2014 by Adrianne Surian 5 Comments

So, yes, yes, I’m still talking about miniature desserts.  This should have been its own series, haha!  But I’ve still got a couple sweet treats that I served at the dessert swap party I threw a couple weekends ago, and making these classic recipes bite-sized turned out so perfectly.  It was a great way to sample all the desserts without over-indulging!  Here’s how I scaled back my classic pineapple upside down cake recipe into petite treats:

I baked these miniature-sized cakes in mini muffin pans for about 13 minutes (give or take a couple minutes depending on your oven and altitude, of course).  But the recipe for the more traditional size is listed below on this printable page, or on the recipe card at the end of the post.  Here’s a quick shot of the dessert buffet!

If you really like having an actual recipe card to tuck into your recipe box, I prepared this one to hand out at the party, and you’re welcome to print it for yourself on heavy duty cardstock!

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
