Dole Whip Cupcakes – Yummy!

Sharing is caring!

The Dole Whip is a popular snack with the Disney community. I admit I’m not really a fan. I am a fan of the Dole Whip with rum available in Epcot, but the regular Dole Whip offered in other spots isn’t something I will go out of  my way for. I do think I would go out of my way for these cupcakes too! Easy to make and delicious!

Cupcake Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Cup unsalted butter, room temp
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 Cup buttermilk
  • 1-1/2 Cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 TBSP pineapple  extract

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line cupcake pan with paper liners.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.
  • Beat butter on high for 30 seconds.
  • Add sugar, vanilla and pineapple extract to the butter until well combined.
  • Add egg whites, one at a time, mixing after each.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each.

ok just got back from the cake decorating store. I also had a hard time finding pineapple extract. they have pineapple oil which they use to flavor things with so I will give it a try. I did find some on amazon but figured I would try the recipe first (the oil is super concentrated and only cost me 3 bucks) if it works I may stick with that option as opposed to 8 bucks plus shipping. thanks jan

Thanks! I'm not sure if we have a Fresh market nearby so I bought some pineapple juice. I'm going to bake them tonight! :)

We love Dole Whips and I can't wait to try this recipe! Where did you find pineapple extract? Is there a substitute for it? Thanks!

Fresh Market carries it. You can use a pineapple juice reduction by heating pineapple juice until it reduces to the desired amount or use crushed pineapple. It's obviously easier to find pineapple extract :)
