Giant Cupcakes!! Nom Nom Nommy.

So I was supposed to make a chocolate cake for Thanksgiving but when I went to my parents and started cooking, my mom tells me that she doesn't have any cake pans.  What? No pans? What did she do with them?  When they had their kitchen redone, she got rid of a lot of cookware so no pans.  What to do?  My mom kept her giant cupcake pans though.

I just used a basic yellow cake mix but of course I had to be different and add mango juice to it instead of water because you should never use water when baking.

Bake as usual.  Make sure to spray the muffin cups or line them!! No one likes to dig cake out with a knife.  So while it was baking, I got crushed pineapple, drained some of the juice, and put in a small saucepan and added about 1/4c of brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1tsp cornstarch to stir and let the sugar melt.  Take off heat and continue to stir to thicken it up.  There was still juice in mine so I drained it a bit more because I didn't want soggy cupcake.  Yes, it was going in between the slice of cupcake because that's how I roll. 

After the cupcake has cooled, I split them crosswise and spooned the pineapple on the bottom half and put the cupcake top back on.  Then I frosted those puppies!!!  I got complaints from my siblings about the pineapple and my sister acted like I was demon spawn for messing with a classic cupcake.  Still ate it.
