Oh yum! I won't be trying this any time soon. I imagine it is really high in points! LOL My dad loved pineapple upside down cake. It's a good thing he didn't have access to an easy recipe like this. He would have lost all self control!

I gotta ask - do you eat it out of the mug or turn it over on a plate?

I envisioned eating the first one out of the mug but now I don't know...

Oh YUM. I'm DEFINITELY trying this.

And it has fruit, therefore it's healthy.

Turn it out on a plate - gotta add the whip cream or the ice cream!!

Now, this one I think you would want to turn out just so you get the proper effect. I'm def. going to try it but don't have all the ingreds. right now.

The chocolate one can be eaten either way. I turned it out in a cereal bowl and it stood up just like the mug, lol! I cut it in half and it made 2 muffin size servings. It cooled quicker that way so I could dig in quicker.
