Pina Colada Cupcakes!

June 24, 2012 | Uncategorized

As promised…here is the recipe for these mouth watering cupcakes.
They are THE PERFECT SUMMERTIME treat!
I got the recipe from my sister awhile back and I’m not quite sure which website it’s from….but enjoy!
*Note: If you are going to frost your cupcakes with a large tip…you’ll need to DOUBLE the frosting recipe.  Also, if you plan to use maraschino cherries on top…make sure to rinse and dry them first so that the cherry juice doesn’t drip and run all over your frosting.

**Double Note: It’s really bugging me that I don’t know how to put the little squiggly line over the N in Pina on my computer.  Oh well.

Pineapple Cupcakes
(recipe
by Glory Albin)
2
1/2 cups flour
1
1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2

1/2 cups canned crushed pineapple (drained slightly)

1. 
Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
2. 
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the eggs and
sugar until slightly thickened and a light cream color (about 2 minutes).

9. 
Frost with Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe below)
Recipe
yields 24-28 cupcakes.
Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting

½
cup (1 stick/8 Tablespoons) butter, at room temperature
8
oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract (always use pure vanilla extract if possible)
1
1/2 teaspoons coconut extract (you may want to start with just 1 teaspoon of
coconut extract, you can always add more, but you can’t take it out!)
4
cups powdered confectioners sugar
1
Tablespoon heavy cream, heavy whipping cream or milk
-or-
1
Tablespoon Dark Rum
Directions:
*Place
butter in a large mixing bowl and blend until smooth. Add cream cheese and blend
until well combined, about 30 seconds.
*Add
vanilla extract, coconut extract and powdered sugar (1 cup at a
time) and blend on low speed until combined. Increase to medium speed and
beat until it begins to get fluffy.
*Slowly
add the heavy cream or rum.
*Beat
until fluffy, about 1 minute.
*Use
at once or keep refrigerated. (This frosting will keep well in the refrigerator
for several days, but you may need to re-beat it for the best texture.)
For
added flavor and texture, top frosted
cupcakes with toasted coconut
.
(To
toast coconut- lay about 1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut on a baking sheet
and bake at 375*F about 4-5 minutes).
Decorate
cupcakes with fresh pineapple, maraschino cherries or paper umbrellas. 
Enjoy!

    You get the squiggly line over your n by pressing the ALT key and typing 0241
