Pineapple Cupcakes With Toasted Coconut

Pineapple Cupcakes With Toasted Coconut

Diana Rattray
A cake mix and pineapple juice concentrate make these cupcakes a snap to mix up and bake. Frost these with purchased frosting or your own homemade favorite, or simply dust them with powdered sugar.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cake mix (18.5 ounces) yellow or butter cake mix with pudding in the mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 container (12 ounces) frozen pineapple juice concentrate, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • toasted coconut, optional

Preparation:

Grease and flour muffin pans or line with cupcake papers. Heat oven to 350°.

In a mixing bowl combine cake mix with the oil, eggs, pineapple juice concentrate, and lemon juice. Beat slowly until blended. Continue beating on high for 2 minutes. Fill muffin cups or paper lined tins about 3/4 full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cupcakes spring back when lightly touched with a finger. Cool in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes. Turn out of the pan to cool completely before frosting. Frost with purchased prepared frosting or your own favorite buttercream or fluffy frosting, or dust with powdered sugar. If frosted, top with a little toasted coconut, if desired.
Makes about 24 cupcakes.

Good, but came out heavy, Member Loves2Bake

I made the cupcakes and followed the recipe to the T. The cupcakes came out real heavy in the middle. They sank right after I took them out of the oven. They were still good. I am going try to cut back on the amount of juice concentrate.
