First of all i love pineapple and secondly i love cupcakes so this would be a wonderful idea! I also love how easy this is and only takes 2 ingredients. Amazing!
Aww… thanks, Christie! You will love these!! 🙂
Can I bake this in a loaf pan? Will it take the whole box and what oven temp would I use and what baking time? Thank you so much for your help.
I haven’t tried making this in a loaf pan, but I know it works great in a 9×13 pan! You can find instructions for that here:

Hello, do you still add the water that the cake mix calls for or is the juice of the pineapple enough liquid?
Thank you,
Carol
Hi Carol, you won’t add any water. Just use the powdered cake mix + the entire contents of the pineapple can {including the pineapple liquid}. Hope that helps! 🙂
Thank you so much! Can’t wait to try this!
You’re very welcome, Carol… enjoy your cupcakes!
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try this!
Entire contents of the pineapple can…..do you mean including the Juice?
Hi Dee ~ yes… including the juice. 😉
Thank you, I will give this a try. It sounds really good, and sooo easy.
You’re very welcome, Dee! They really are incredibly easy to make, and SO yummy. ENJOY! 🙂
