Pineapple Lime Cupcakes
May 2, 2013 by Leave a Comment
I was in the mood for something sweet. So I figured I’d make cupcakes! But what kind…hmmm…how about something with lime?! YES! So here’s what I made:
These were a bit on the sweet side. Here’s a tip…I used flaked coconut, not sweetened coconut. The frosting had a great lime flavor.

Author: The Frugal Fairy
Cuisine: Dessert
Ingredients
- Box of white cake mix
- 3 egg whites
- ⅓ c canola oil
- 1 can of pineapple chunks drained, juice reserved
- 2tsp lime zest
- chocolate chips, melted to drizzle on pineapple chunks
- I frosted with Cream Cheese Lime Frosting
- and topped with chocolate drizzled pineapple chunks and flaked coconut (colored green)
Instructions
- Drain pineapple juice from pineapple chunks.
- Put pineapple chunks on a kitchen towel to take as much moisture out as possible
- I followed the directions on the boxed cake mix. It calls for 1 and ¼ cups of water. I substituted 1 cup of water with 1 cup of pineapple juice (drained the can of pineapple chunks). I also added in 2 tsp lime zest at the end. Bake according to directions on box.
- Put pineapple chunks on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper and drizzle melted chocolate on top. Put in the refrigerator to set.
- Frost cooled cupcakes and top with coconut and pineapples.

Ever in the mood for a”citrusy” dessert? I was last night. I used a box of lemon cake mix to make mini cupcakes and frosted them with lemon cream cheese frosting and topped them with candied lemons. SO GOOD!!!
I used a Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting I found on All Recipes.
How to make the candied lemons:
Candied Lemons
Author: The Frugal Fairy
Ingredients
- 1C Sugar
- 1C Water
- 2 Lemons
Instructions
- Mix water and sugar in a medium-sized pot on the stove over medium heat. Since I was garnishing mini-cupcakes, I sliced the lemons into fourths and then very thinly sliced them, leaving off the ends.
- Place into water/sugar and cook for about 20 minutes. By this point they have become translucent. I used a fork to pull them out and let them sit on a paper towel for a few seconds to remove excess syrup, then put them on a plate to cool further.
- You can save the lemon simple syrup for tea, recipes and more…it’s yummy!

- Garlic Powder
- Sliced Mozzarella Cheese (about 5 Slices)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Roll out dough

- Roll up dough (like a jelly roll, from one side to the other)

Notes
Don’t overcook! Check on it often when it gets close to the 10 minute mark.
They may stick a little on the bottom due to the cheese, but, since the cheese is so thin, there was no problem.
These cute little pinwheels are a fast and easy way to add to a meal.
