Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 cup flaked coconut
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup canola oil
2 large eggs
1/2 cup orange juice
3/4 cup Chardonnay
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons orange zest
1/4 teaspoon lemon oil
3 cups unbleached pastry flour* (See Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 (15-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
4 ounces flaked coconut
8 ounces chopped chocolate
1/2 cup cream
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 cup cream or milk
Melted white chocolate, for garnish
Edible gold dust (optional)

Steps:

  • For the topping: Combine the coconut and sugar with the butter.
  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line standard cupcake pans with 24 cupcake liners.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, oil, eggs, orange juice, wine, vanilla, orange zest, and lemon oil and mix well. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a separate bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the orange juice mixture just until moistened. Fold in the mandarin oranges and the coconut. Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full. Sprinkle the topping over each cupcake and bake until golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely.
  • For the ganache: In a 2 cup glass measuring cup, heat the cream in the microwave until very hot but not boiling. Remove the cream from the microwave and add the chocolate. Stir until smooth. Cool slightly to thicken.
  • For the frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the salt until smooth. Add 1/2 the powdered sugar and mix thoroughly. Add the cream, vanilla, and remaining sugar and beat to desired consistency.

Immediately pipe 3 small dots (about 1/16 teaspoon each) white chocolate on top of each cupcake. Pull the tip of a sharp knife through each white chocolate dot, starting at the top and pulling down, to form a heart. Sprinkle edible gold flakes on top of each cupcake, if desired.

COCONUT CUPCAKES



Coconut Cupcakes image

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.

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 45m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

140g light brown sugar
100g self raising flour
50g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs
135ml vegetable oil
4 tbsp milk
50g dark chocolate , finely chopped, plus extra for decoration
2 large oranges , zested
300g icing
150g unsalted butter , softened
1 orange , zested, plus extra zest to decorate
25g cocoa powder
2 tbsp milk
orange gel food colouring

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the sugar, flour, cocoa, pinch of salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil and milk. Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until you have a smooth mixture. Fold in the dark chocolate and orange zest. Put 12 cupcake cases in a 12-hole tin. Divide the mixture between the cases, then bake for 20 mins until risen. Leave to cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the icing. Beat the icing sugar and butter together until pale and fluffy. Whisk in 2 tbsp hot water to loosen and fold in the orange zest. Divide the icing evenly between two bowls. Add a few drops of orange food colouring to one bowl and stir until the icing turns bright orange. In the other bowl, add the cocoa powder and 2 tbsp milk, then beat until combined.
  • Fill one side of a piping bag (use one with a large round nozzle) with the orange icing, then fill the other side with the chocolate buttercream. Pipe on top of each cupcake. Decorate with some extra orange zest and a grating of dark chocolate.

Tips:

  • To achieve moist and fluffy cupcakes, make sure the oven temperature is accurate. An inaccurate oven temperature can result in dry or undercooked cupcakes.
  • Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This allows the ingredients to blend together smoothly and evenly, resulting in a consistent batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full to prevent them from overflowing during baking.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cupcakes.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting. This will prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

These coconut orange cupcakes are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of coconut and orange in a moist and fluffy cupcake. They are perfect for any occasion, whether it's a birthday party, a potluck, or just a sweet treat for yourself. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can easily create these delicious cupcakes at home.
