How to Make Fruity Vanilla Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Drain one 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice. Add the drained pineapple and reserved juice to the batter.
  7. Gently fold in the pineapple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  8. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 18 minutes.
  10. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
