Ingredients

1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup butter
¼ cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, well drained
¾ cup milk
¼ cup brandy, or as needed, divided
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon brandy

Frosting:

1 (15 ounce) can cream of coconut
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 35 cupcake cups with paper liners.
Beat sugar, butter, and oil together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in pineapple, milk, and 1/4 cup brandy.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in another bowl. Add slowly to the sugar mixture, beating with an electric hand mixer to get a light, fluffy batter.
Spoon batter into the cupcake liners, leaving about 1/8 inch of each liner free (this cake doesn't rise a lot).
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 17 minutes.
Remove from the oven and immediately spoon 1 teaspoon of brandy over the top of each cupcake; let seep into the cake. Let cool completely.
Beat cream of coconut and cream cheese together with an electric mixer until it is lump-free. Frost cooled cupcakes.
