Ingredients
•
1 3/4 cups cake flour
•
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 cups white sugar
•
1 tablespoon baking powder
•
3/4 teaspoon salt
•
1 cup butter, cut into cubes
•
4 large eggs
•
1 cup whole milk
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 teaspoon coconut extract
•
1 teaspoon pineapple extract
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 36 muffin cups with paper liners.
2
Combine cake flour, all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl; mix with hand mixer on Low until combined, about 3 minutes; add butter and mix just until butter chunks are coated with flour.
3
Beat 1 egg into the flour mixture at a time, assuring each is integrated fully before introducing the next; beat until the mixture forms a cake batter.
4
Slowly add milk, vanilla extract, coconut extract, and pineapple extract to the batter, beating and intermittently scraping down the sides of the bowl as you mix, until fully integrated; spoon into paper liners to about 2/3 full.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 17 to 20 minutes.
