LB cake

This weekend I was going to make blood orange cupcakes, but I wasn't able to find any. So i used this thing I had sitting around instead:

It was amazing. Also, I'm thinking something quite lovely is going to happen to me within the next couple days, so I'm drinking an entire bottle of wine. That's how I do. Oh, and watching Hell's Kitchen on youtube. I really don't know what I'm going to turn my attention to after I'm all caught up on this. On a side note, bacon and scrambled egg tacos with Cholula are an amazing dinner.
Last night, I decided I was going to get a chicken sandwich from McDonalds. And then I remembered why I stopped eating fast food. The only thing I could taste was dirty fryer grease and it was horrendous. Today was terribly busy at work and it was like one thing after another going wrong. Thankfully, the countdown to Reno has begun. I leave you with a recipe, for what I did with that delicious pine apple.
Fresh Pineapple Pound (cup)Cakes

Cream:
2 sticks butter, softened
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
Add:
3 eggs, room temp, one at a time
Mix in:
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Followed by a mix of:
2 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Mix in:
1/2 milk, room temp
Fold in:
1 c. chopped pinapple

Pour batter into lined muffin tins (I came out with 16) and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting:

Coconut Buttercream:
Beat:
1 stick softened butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tbsp coconut milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract.

Frost those cakes. They're bad ass.
