These retro inspired cupcakes make things in the kitchen a little more convenient by using a yellow cake mix. They are moist, full of pineapple and caramel flavor and are so eye catching with the pineapple and cherry design!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray muffin tins with cooking spray. Set aside.
Add cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice (this is the juice you saved from the can of pineapple), eggs to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
In another bowl, stir together brown sugar and butter. Add a small spoonful of sugar mixture to each muffin tin. Then add two pineapple slices to each muffin tin followed by a cherry half with the cut side up in the centre of the pineapple slices. Add cake batter to each muffin tin.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the middle of the cupcakes. Let cool for a few minutes and then invert on a baking rack.
