About this Recipe
A cupcake is a small cake that serves one person and is baked in a small thin paper or aluminium cup. Frosting and other cake decorations, such as fruit and candy, may be used, as with larger cakes. The term cupcake was first used in the late 1800s to describe cakes made with ingredients measured by the cupful. With a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, a pound of flour, and a pound of eggs, the traditional pound cake recipe was simple to remember. Similarly, the name cupcake derives from the recipe measurements: 1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, and 4 eggs.
Pina Colada is a sweet, creamy frozen drink bursting with pineapple and coconut flavours.
Ingredients for the Pina Colada Cupcakes
Pineapple Puree :
Pineapple puree is simple to make and versatile in the kitchen. Peel, core, and chop fresh pineapple into medium chunks to make pineapple puree. Cook until the fruit is soft and the sugar is just starting to caramelise. In a food processor, puree until smooth. Chill it and store it in a sterilised bottle for later use.
Shredded Coconut:
Shredded Coconut is crisp and snow white in colour, with a sweet, pleasant, and fresh nut flavour. It is made from fresh coconuts that have been harvested at the ideal time to ensure the best flavour. The coconut is then dried to ensure a long shelf life, the best flavour, and the best mouth feel.
