Ingredients:
1 can (567g) sliced pineapple (drained, juice reserved),
1 box yellow cake mix
, 125ml vegetable oil,
3 large eggs
, 80g melted butter,
150g packed brown sugar,
12 maraschino cherries (halved)
, 250ml reserved pineapple juice
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line or grease a muffin tin. Start by preparing the caramel layer: distribute the brown sugar evenly into each cavity, then drizzle with melted butter.
Cut the pineapple slices into small pieces to fit each muffin tin and arrange them on top of the sugar mixture. Add half a cherry to the center of each piece for a classic touch.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and pineapple juice until smooth and lump-free. Gently pour the batter over the fruit layer, filling each glass about two-thirds full.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then carefully turn them out onto a baking sheet to reveal their golden, caramelized topping.
