Brown Sugar Cupcakes
Makes 12 cupcakes
1 cup loosely packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt, stirring to mix. Set aside. Line a cupcake tin with liners.
In a large bowl, whisk brown sugar and egg until smooth. Add in vanilla extract and milk, again mixing until combined. Slowly pour in melted butter, continuing to whisk. Add in the flour, soda and salt, mixing with a large spoon until batter is smooth.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, add batter to liners. Bake for 16-19 minutes, or until tops are puffy and golden, and don’t jiggle when touched. Let cool completely.
When cool use that handy little tool to make room for the pineapple filling. I used a can of crushed pineapple and just strained the juice out really well so the cupcakes wouldnt get soggy.
Frosting
1 cup of butter
4 cups of powdered sugar
A tablespoon or two of milk if needed, and 1-3 teaspoons of some pineapple juice, I used the juice I strained from the canned pineapple.
Here they are all decorated and ready to eat!!!!! Enjoy!!!
