While pineapple upside-down cake is the most common upside-down cake (I even make that into pineapple upside-down cupcakes), pineapple isn’t the only cake that works incredibly well upside-down!

This cake is just as rich as its buttery peers, more moist, and doesn’t leave you with the same heavy feeling.

Along with the tart pucker of oranges, this cake is lightly spiced and is made with an additional sweet splash of vanilla.

After flipping, a layer of sweet brown sugar caramelized pineapple ends up on top of a lightly spiced vanilla cupcake. Top the inverted cupcakes with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry to make them extra cute!

In cupcakes with pineapple, like my hummingbird cupcakes and my piña colada cupcakes, the pineapple flavor can be overpowered by other more prominent flavors like banana and coconut. Here, by having chunks of pineapple on the top of the cupcakes, the pineapple becomes the star!
