If you haven’t noticed on my blog, I have a love for anything with pineapple. I have made pineapple upside-down cakes many, many times. They are always a big hit and disappear quickly. This time I am making cupcakes, but I added more chopped pineapple to the batter. Love the addition, I think you will too! These cupcakes are so moist and full of flavor. The pineapple and brown sugar caramelizes in the cupcake pan which puts the flavor over the top! Since they are cupcakes size, you can have more than one, I won’t tell!
