-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup butter or margarine
7 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 can crushed pineapple (reserve juice)
6 maraschino cherries -- drained and halved
1 cup cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg -- separated, at room
temperature
1/4 cup butter or margarine -- softened
1/4 cup white sugar

Lightly grease each 2 1/2 inch cup in a 12-cup muffin tin. For topping, melt
butter in a small saucepan. Stir in sugar and Cinnamon until blended. Remove

Powder and salt. In another bowl, beat egg white with electric mixer until
stiff peaks form. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer
(no need to clean beaters) until fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and Vanilla
Extract. Alternately add flour mixture and pineapple juice, beating well
after each addition. Gently fold beaten egg white into batter. Pour evenly
into muffin cups. Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until cupcakes test
done. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Invert onto cookie sheet and
gently tap each cup to release cupcakes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
