Soft, moist, buttery mini cakes with juicy crushed pineapple for natural sweetness. A simple homemade dessert perfect for gatherings or everyday treats.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin or cupcake pan.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in vanilla extract.
Gradually add dry ingredients and milk alternately, starting and ending with dry ingredients.
Gently fold in drained crushed pineapple.
Fill each cup about 3/4 full with batter.
Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Drain pineapple well to prevent excess moisture.
Add shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
Cream cheese frosting or glaze works beautifully on top.
Lemon zest can brighten the flavor.
Walnuts or pecans add a nice crunch.
Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
Freeze for longer storage and thaw before serving.
