Instructions: Cupcakes with fresh pineapple, cream cheese frosting and pineapple flowers
In a bowl mix the egg, chopped pineapple, oil, milk and sugar.
Add the sifted flour and the baking powder and stir briefly. Do not overmix the batter.
Line your muffin pan with paper liners and fill up to 3/4 in height with the prepared batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
For the flower decoration: peel the pineapple and cut it with a sharp knife into very thin slices (a couple of millimeters). Dry the slices with kitchen paper and laid on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven at 100 °C for 1 hour – 1 hour and a half turning a couple of times while baking. Switch off the oven and place hot slices inside cups, or like I did, in the muffin tin. They will dry out completely and and will have the shape of a flower.
For the frosting beat the butter until it becomes light and frothy, add the cream cheese and icing sugar and beat again until all the ingredients are combined.
Decorate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting then add the pineapple flower and serve.
