For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg to the batter. To make cupcakes, line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill each liner about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you don't have walnuts, pecans or another nut can be substituted. Ensure the pineapple is well-drained if you prefer a less moist cake. Alternatively, reserve some of the juice to brush over the cooled cake layers for added moisture.
