Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 12 cupcakes, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 cup drained pineapple chunk, cut in half

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Line muffin pan with paper liners.
  • In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil and egg until smooth. Alternately whisk in flour mixture and milk, making three additions of flour mixture and two of milk, beating until smooth. Stir in pineapple.
  • Scoop batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until tops of cupcakes spring back when lightly touched. Let cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on rack. Top cooled cupcakes with frosting, if desired.

Tips:

  • To ensure the cupcakes are moist and fluffy, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter texture.
  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before adding it to the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Over IDAxing can result in tough, dense cupcakes. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the specified amount of time. Underbaked cupcakes will be dense and gooey, while overbaked cupcakes will be dry and crumbly.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and becoming runny.
  • For a professional finish, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to apply the buttercream frosting to the cupcakes.

Conclusion:

These pineapple cupcakes with buttercream frosting are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their moist and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy pineapple flavor, and creamy buttercream frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat to make, give these pineapple cupcakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
