Hawaiian Wedding Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting and Toasted Coconut |
I used cupcake liners with hearts since these were for an anniversary dessert! |
My dad and mom when they were still dating...I guess we know where I get my love for baking from! Happy 52nd Anniversary Mom & Dad! |
Hawaiian Wedding Cupcakes
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
2 eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup sweetened, flaked coconut
1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2-2 cups powdered sugar
additional coconut for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Combine sugar, baking soda and flour. With an electric mixer, beat together the pineapple and the flour mixture. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in nuts and coconut. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full. Bake approximately 25 minutes or until golden and a cake tester inserted near center comes out clean. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Whip together cream cheese and unsalted butter. Add powdered sugar until desired frosting consistency is reached.
On a jelly roll pan, place coconut in the oven under a low broiler until lightly toasted. Watch carefully, as it will burn quickly.
Frost each cupcake generously with cream cheese frosting. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
