Mini Strawberry Cakes 

These Mini Strawberry Upside Down Cakes are a berry-filled take on pineapple upside down cake!

Mix butter and sugar

01

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 cup light brown sugar between the 12 muffin tins.

Add strawberries

02

Layer the bottom of each muffin tin with sliced strawberries. I did about 3 slices in each. Set aside and start working on your batter.

Cream butter & sugar

03

Add 1/3 cup butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup light brown sugar to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Cream for 3 minutes or until lighter in color.

Mix dry ingredients 

04

Add in egg and almond extract and mix. In a bowl combine the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternating with the milk.

Fold in strawberries

05

Fold in the leftover diced strawberries by hand. Make sure not to overmix.

Bake

06

Divide the batter between the muffin tin. Bake for 20-24 minutes or until the cakes look golden brown and set.

Cool

07

Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes then carefully flip the tray to release them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve warm with whipped cream and a scoop of ice cream!
