Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 and 2/3 cups (209g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/2 cup (120ml) pineapple juice*
1/2 cup (120ml) full-fat coconut milk*
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
optional: coconut, pineapple slices, and cherries for decoration
3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3 cups (360g) confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream or half-and-half*
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Whisk in brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk in egg, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Slowly mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no lumps remain. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter on medium speed with an electric or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat for about 3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Turn mixer off and add confectioners' sugar, cream, vanilla, and coconut extracts. Mix on low for 1 minute then increase to high speed and beat for 3-4 full minutes. Add more confectioners' sugar if frosting is too thin or more cream if frosting is too thick. Add salt if frosting is too sweet (I usually add 1/4 teaspoon). Frost cooled cupcakes. There may be leftover frosting depending how much you use on each cupcake. I used a Wilton #12 piping tip. Decorate cupcakes with coconut, pineapple slices, and/or a cherry.
  • Leftover cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days and in the refrigerator up to 4.

VIRGIN PIñA COLADA



Virgin Piña Colada image

A virgin piña colada is just coconut cream and pineapple juice. This version of the nonalcoholic piña colada recipe goes further for balance and complexity.

Provided by Derek Brown

Time 3m

Yield Makes 1 cocktail

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 oz. fresh pineapple juice
2¼ oz. cream of coconut, such as Coco Lopez
1 tsp. Steen's Pure Cane Syrup
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
3 drops alcohol-free vanilla extract
6 drops salt tincture (see note at top)
Pineapple slice and frond for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine pineapple juice, cream of coconut, cane syrup, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and salt tincture in a blender with a ½ cup of ice and blend until smooth.
  • Pour into hurricane glass and garnish with pineapple slice and frond.

Tips:

  • To make sure the cupcakes are moist and fluffy, use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. Cake flour has a lower protein content, which results in a more tender crumb.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense cupcakes.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing and making a mess in your oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have pineapple juice on hand, you can use a mixture of orange juice and lime juice instead.
  • For a more intense pina colada flavor, use coconut extract instead of vanilla extract in the frosting.
  • Garnish the cupcakes with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry for a festive touch.

Conclusion:

These alcohol-free pina colada cupcakes are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive dessert, give these cupcakes a try!
