Mini Pineapple Lime Mojito Cakes
- 1 1/2 cups flour all-purpose, divided
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup buttermilk room temperature
- 1 cup pineapples chopped
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar plus more for dusting
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime vodka
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 6 mini Bundt pans with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 11/2 cups of flours, baking powder and salt.
- Using an electric mixer or hand mixer, beat together the sugar, oil and butter on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add in the lime zest and beat for additional minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time and beating until combined. Beat in vanilla extract.
- Add in a third of the flour mixture and half of the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Then add another third of flour and the rest of the buttermilk. Mix again until just combined. Scrape down the side of the bowl as needed. Add the rest of the flour and mix for 30 seconds. Finish incorporating the flour into the batter by hand with a rubber spatula to avoid over mixing.
- In a small bowl, toss the pineapples with the remaining two tablespoons of flour.
- Spoon batter into individual mini bundt pans, filling halfway before sprinkling the pineapples on top of the batter. Then top until two-third full. Smooth the top. Repeat for each.
- Bake until cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow cake to cool in pan for 30 minutes. Using a small sharp knife, run it around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake and then invert the cake onto a cooling rack (lined with parchment paper) to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together all the ingredients in a small bowl. If the glaze is too thick, whisk in vodka or lime juice, a teaspoon at a time.
- Just before serving, pour the glaze over the cake and allowing it to drip down the sides. Let glaze set for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
