If you want to make this into a regular cake insteadIf you want to go a more traditional route and make a regular pineapple upside-down cake, I would recommend this recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction! How to store these mini pineapple upside down cakesThese cakes will be good at room temperature for up to 3 days and in the fridge for up to 5 days. I do not recommend freezing these because when the fruit defrosts it may cause the cakes to become soggy or dense. These are great served at room temperature or warmed up with some ice cream or whipped topping! Don’t forget to check out our other delicious holiday recipes!

Boxed cake mixes are easy enough for even the most novice bakers to make, so you can enjoy pineapple-flavored baked goods no matter what level your cooking skills are at. Simply replace the oil, milk, or water called for in the recipe with pineapple juice in equal proportions.
