Time 1h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
½ cup milk
½ cup pineapple juice
3 tablespoons crushed pineapple, drained, or more to taste
½ cup butter, softened
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon pineapple juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line 16 cupcake cups with paper liners.
  • Cream sugar and butter for cupcakes together in a medium bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla extract and coconut extract. Add flour and baking soda and mix well. Stir in milk and pineapple juice until batter is smooth. Fold in crushed pineapple. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • While cupcakes cool, cream butter and vanilla extract for frosting together in a large bowl. Blend in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition; you may need to add an additional 1/4 to 1/2 cup based on your liking. Beat in milk and pineapple juice until light and fluffy. Frost cooled cupcakes or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

These cupcakes were a disaster! The cake was undercooked and the frosting was runny.

I thought these cupcakes were just okay. The cake was a little dry and the frosting was too sweet.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I love pineapple upside down cake, so I thought I'd try these cupcakes. They were delicious! The cake was moist and the pineapple flavor was perfect.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but these cupcakes were surprisingly good. The cake was moist and the frosting was creamy and not too sweet.

These pineapple cupcakes were a hit! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the buttercream frosting was light and fluffy. I loved the pineapple chunks in the batter, they added a nice tropical flavor.
