Notes
Actual yield may vary depending upon how large you make the cupcakes.
I was wondering how many cupcakes this recipe makes. I’m going to make this into a 9 x 13 cake instead but need to know if this recipe yields 12 or 24 cupcakes. I imagine it makes 24 but I wanted to be sure. Thank you.
It makes about 36 cupcakes!
Do you drain the juice from the can of pineapples?
I don’t believe there is a lot of juice in crushed pineapples but you can drain what there is. Good question!
