ALOHA CUPCAKES
A friend asked me to make a coconut and pineapple cupcake for a gathering she was hosting. Everyone agreed that this beauty took them to the tropics. The macadamia nuts are completely optional (the friend happens to be allergic), and the cupcakes are still fantastic without them. -Shannon Dobos, Calgary, Alberta

COCONUT CUPCAKES
A white cake recipe with a coconut twist. I had some coconut in my fridge that needed to be used, and this is what I came up with. If you want a more intense coconut flavor, add a teaspoon or two of coconut extract. Try putting your coconut in a food processor or blender if you prefer a smoother-textured cupcake. This is the first recipe I've come up with on my own, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Steps:
- Cinnamon Apple Cupcake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two standard cupcake tins with 15 paper liners.
- Using a stand or hand mixer, cream together the sugar and butter on medium speed in a large bowl.
- Slowly add in eggs, one at a time, and mix on medium speed until combined.
- Reduce speed to low and add vanilla extract, milk, and sour cream.
- In a separate bowl, combine both flours, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, and mix on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Using a large spoon, fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cinnamon Apple Filling:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine diced apple with sugar and cinnamon.
- Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft.
- Set aside to fill cupcakes with later.
- Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting:
- With a hand or stand mixer, beat softened butter and cream cheese together on medium speed for 3 minutes.
- Add vanilla and mix on medium speed until thoroughly combined.
- Slowly add powdered sugar and beat on low for 1 minute.
- Add cinnamon and gradually increase the speed to high and beat for 3 minutes, until fluffy.
- Apple Fritter Topping:
- Combine flour and next seven ingredients including apples in a medium bowl.
- Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium high heat for 3 minutes. Lower heat to medium, and using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, drop 1/4 cupfuls of batter into the hot oil.
- Fry about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon, and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
- Continue until all the batter is gone, being careful not to overcrowd the pan while frying.
- While hot, sprinkle the fritters with cinnamon and sugar.
- After cooled, cut fritters into pieces to top cupcakes.
- To Assemble Cupcakes:
- Once cool, poke small holes in each cupcake, using a circle pastry tip or an apple corer. Insert one tablespoon of the Cinnamon Apple Filling into each cupcake. Gently pipe each cupcake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting. Garnish with an Apple Fritter Topping piece on top of each cupcake.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
- If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute it with regular milk.
- To make the cupcakes even more moist, add a tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt to the batter.
- For a fun twist, try adding a teaspoon of coconut extract to the batter.
- To make the cupcakes gluten-free, use gluten-free flour.
- For a vegan version, use vegan butter and milk.
- Serve the cupcakes with a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream.
Conclusion:
These apple and coconut milk cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're moist, flavorful, and have a delicate coconut flavor. Whether you're a fan of apples, coconut, or both, you're sure to love these cupcakes.
