Pineapple Upside Down Tea Cakes
Yay I finally did some baking!!
My boyfriend’s absolute favorite cake is pineapple upside down cake so when I found a mini cake recipe in my Food Network Magazine (July 2011 issue) I just had to try it! I lightened it up by using Splenda, fat-free buttermilk and light butter, but the great thing about this recipe is that it really didn’t call for too much! I ended up calling these “tea cakes” because when they came out of my cupcake pan they were just so tiny, but I love it! They’re the perfect little serving (1 point per tea cake) and you can have TWO for just about 100 calories! Oh, and did I mention they were delicious?! I also {of course} had to buy an abundance of cherries…not just because they were on sale, but because I just LOVE cherries 
Hope you enjoy them as much as we did! Ok, I’m headed back to the pool now, just too nice of a day.
