Pineapple Upside Down Mini Bundts

These decadent Pineapple Upside Down Mini Bundts are my riff on the Pineapple Upside Down perfection we enjoyed at the Eating House 1849 by Roy Yamaguchi during our recent Girls Trip 2023. The sour cream in the cake batter keeps the crumb magically moist, and sprinkling the macadamia nut crumble on top of the mini bundts just before baking adds a delightful nutty crunch surprise on the bottom. See what I did there? Upside down. haha. Enjoy!
