Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk
• 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Crushed pineapple, drained
• 0.5 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Rum extract
• 12 Maraschino cherries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the coconut milk, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded coconut.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
