Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cups packed brown sugar
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup crushed pineapple strained
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup Chopped Pecans plus more for garnish
Cream cheese frosting:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 12 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉ and prepare a 24 space cupcake pan (or 2 with 12) by lining it with cupcake liners.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, or with a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy 6-7 minutes. Add in your eggs one at a time and incorporate completely, then mix in your vanilla.
- In a separate bowl mix your bananas, coconut, and pineapple.
- In another bowl, whisk together your flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt. Add it to your butter and egg mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Add in your banana mixture and mix in gently, once everything is incorporated, fold in your chopped pecans.
- Fill each cupcake liner ¾ of the way and bake about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan about 10-15 minutes before removing and cooling completely.
Cream cheese frosting:
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk or using a hand mixer, whip your butter and cream cheese together until fluffy, and free of lumps. Add your vanilla and salt and mix to combine.
- With the mixer set to low, add in your powdered sugar in ¼ cup at a time until it is all completely mixed in.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
- Take about ½ cup of your chopped pecans and crush them in a plastic bag until you have fine pieces you can sprinkle on the top of your frosted cupcakes.
