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 Edd Kimber

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 50m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

400g can full-fat coconut milk (must not contain stabilisers)
140g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
50g desiccated coconut
100g coconut oil
225g golden caster sugar
3 large eggs
200g gluten-free self-raising flour (the mix should include xanthan gum - I used Doves Farm)
100ml coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Chill the can of coconut milk overnight. The next day, make the cakes. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin cases. Put the coconut oil and sugar in a large bowl and use an electric whisk to beat together for about 5 mins until light and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until fully combined before adding more. Working in three additions, add the flour, alternating with the coconut milk, then add the vanilla extract.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin using an ice cream scoop, then bake for 20-22 mins or until the cakes are golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
  • The whipped cream is best made within a few hours of serving. Open the can of coconut milk upside down and pour off the thin liquid. Scoop the thick coconut milk into a large bowl, add the icing sugar and the vanilla, and whisk for 2-3 mins until soft and fluffy. Spread or scoop the whipped cream onto the cupcakes and sprinkle with the desiccated coconut. Best stored in the fridge and eaten within a couple of days.
