Pineapple Upside Down Mug Cakes for a Scrumptious Treat!
Pineapple is a favorite of mine! I love to eat just pineapple by itself. I love it on pizza and my very favorite is Pineapple Upside Down Cake! However, with just two of us in the house, it is hard to eat a whole cake. So, it seems I rarely have a chance to have it. That is until I discovered Pineapple Upside Down Mug Cakes for two! Now, we can have a fresh pineapple dessert anytime the mood hits!
Pineapple Upside Down Mug Cakes are so easy to make and takes less than 3 minutes! With only a few ingredients, I can make a mouth-watering dessert for two with this easy recipe! And, if I made you hungry for a pineapple pizza, check out easy recipe for Homemade Canadian Bacon & Pineapple Pizza!

I like the idea of making individual servings in mugs. I hadn’t thought of that before.
I made this and it is good. Easy to make and just the right amount.
It’s the same here. A whole cake with only two of us, get’s wasted. I’ll have to try this.
I can’t wait to try this! I love to make mug cakes since they are the perfect serving size. Thank you for sharing.
These look so good. I love pineapple upside down cake, but never eat a whole cake. These would be good for me to make
This is the perfect recipe to make for those days you want a good treat but not a whole cake.I love how easy it is too!
Yeah, we have only two people in our house and making a cake is usually not possible. The mug size would be perfect! I love pineapples too and upside down pineapple cake sounds really yummy.
Oh wow that’s so easy. I have never made a cake even like that but, with this I can try it and if I fail Noone wld know. I love pineapples. Thanks for sharing and giving me hope.lol

Thank you for sharing. I have never tried it this way. It looks pretty easy.
These individual pineapple upside down mug cakes look delicious! I have a can of freeze-dried pineapple & wondered what I could do with it. This would be perfect as I could use just what I wanted & store the rest for another day. Thank you for the recipe!
