Pineapple Lump Cupcakes

Ahh the humble pineapple lump an NZ icon, this recipe is very similar to my Perky Narna cupcakes they are real sweet n sticky gooey and chewy so yeah they are pretty good.
This was my first attempt at making these cuppys everything went well but i think i may have needed to not be so crazy on adding in the amount of pineapple lumps as i did as i had pineapple lump goo all over the bottom of my oven so yeah I'm not looking forward to cleaning the darn thing now, Ive cut down the measurement to 120g but just see how you go if you think you need more just chuck em in!
