Tin Can Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Tin Can Pineapple Upside Down Cake | You’re favorite cake in an easy to handle single serving size. The perfect mini size cake for any party.
Next time someone asks you to make pineapple upside down cake make it in the can the sliced pineapple comes in! Don’t throw away your pineapple cans use them to bake in! I strongly….strongly discourage you from using tuna cans or cat food cans. I tried and no matter what I did I could not get rid of the fish smell. The size of a small pineapple can is perfect and totally satisfying.
You make these little cuties just like the bigger version. Add the wonderful brown sugar mixture to the bottom along with a pineapple ring and maraschino cherry.
Fill and bake to perfection!

What a creative idea! Pineapple upside down cake is one of my favorite cakes!
What a fun and creative recipe!
Can you turn the cake out onto a plate or do you have to eat it in the can?
Hi Catrina, I don’t think you can turn the cake out. The can has a lip inside. But serving it in the can is what makes this recipe fun!
