Ingredients

  • 1 (15.9 ounce) box yellow cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup cream of coconut
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • homemade buttercream frosting
  • toasted coconut for topping, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners (recipe makes about 22 cupcakes).
  2. Stir yellow cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil in a bowl until moistened; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in crushed pineapple. Pour batter into the prepared liners.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs, about 18-20 minutes.
  4. Place cupcakes on wire rack to cool. While still warm, poke holes over the surface of each cupcake using a toothpick or fork. Whisk cream of coconut with milk in a bowl until smooth; pour mixture evenly over warm cupcakes. Allow cupcakes to cool thoroughly.
  5. Frost each cupcake with buttercream frosting. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
