Pina Colada Cupcakes Recipe

These Pina Colada Cupcakes are a fun twist on the classic cocktail.

Deliciously moist pineapple cake with bits of crushed pineapple topped with toasted coconut!

Make a batch of these, summon the pool boy, and catch some rays while enjoying the tropical flavors of these fun cupcakes.
