PINEAPPLE-PECAN CUPCAKES


This recipe goes together, quickly, with just a bowl and a spoon AND they are exceptionally moist (even though they have NO oil or butter in the batter!!!) They are tastiest at room temperature (rather than hot). 


ULTRA MOIST

1 cup AP flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon butter extract
8 ounce can of crushed pineapple (don't drain)
2/3 cup toasted pecans

Stir everything together in a large bowl, just until it's all moist.
Bake cupcakes (in paper cupcake liners) at 350F for 18 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean. It couldn't be easier!!!!!


FROSTING 
8 ounces of cream cheese (softened) 
1/2 cup butter (softened) 
2 cups powdered sugar 
1 tablespoon (yes tablespoon of vanilla) 
Mix until smooth.



ENJOY !!!
