Cory’s Pineapple Cupcakes

pineapple cream cheese cupcakes

Today is Cory’s birthday, so I made a cupcake flavor especially for him. They were pineapple cake with pineapple cream cheese fosting, topped with a maraschino cherry. I used the golden vanilla cupcake recipe and added a 20oz can of crushed pineapple after mixing the batter. I drained the fruit from the juice and added about half the juice to the cream cheese frosting. The cupcakes were super moist, but didn’t rise much, so if you make these, be sure to fill the cupcake liners a little fuller than usual to ensure you get a good sized cupcake. Cory said they were the best cupcakes he had ever had, so success!
