Pineapple Upside Down Mini Cake
Here is an interesting fact about pineapple upside-down cakes. Back in the history, people use to bake this cake on an open fire, in a cast-iron skillet that had legs on the base. This recipe is one of my favorites. It is never failed me, and every time the cake turns of very soft and moist. My go-to recipe, and I do combine it with many other fruits.
