PINA COLADA UPSIDE-DOWN CAKES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the bottom shelf of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. If using a muffin pan that's not nonstick, spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Stir together the brown sugar, rum and 3 tablespoons of the coconut oil in a small bowl. Pour about 1 tablespoon into each cup of a 6-cup nonstick jumbo muffin pan.
• Place 1 pineapple ring in each muffin cup, then put 1 cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
• Finely mince the remaining 2 pineapple rings until the texture resembles crushed pineapple; transfer to a large bowl. Add the lime juice, coconut milk and granulated sugar and the remaining 4 tablespoons coconut oil. Whisk to combine. Add the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups (about a heaping 1/4 cup in each). Use the back of a small spoon to smooth the tops. Transfer the muffin pan to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the center springs back when you lightly press the top a cake, about 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Set a wire rack inside another rimmed baking sheet and spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray. Run a small offset spatula around the edge of each cake, then carefully invert the cakes onto the prepared rack. Let cool for 20 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, remove the chilled heavy coconut cream from the refrigerator. Scoop the solid coconut cream from the top of the can (about 1 cup), leaving behind the coconut water and reserving it. Whip the coconut cream with a handheld mixer on high speed in a large bowl until smooth, creamy and very soft peaks form. If the cream is too thick, whip in 1 teaspoon of the reserved coconut water at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Add the lime zest and confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed until just combined.
• Top the cakes with large dollops of the whipped coconut cream. Serve immediately.
