Yield Makes 21

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup packed sweetened shredded coconut
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 large eggs, plus 2 large egg whites
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Seven-Minute Frosting for Lemon Meringue Cupcakes
1 1/3 cups large-flake unsweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sweetened coconut in a large bowl. Cream butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs and whites, 1 at a time, beating after each addition.
  • Reduce speed to low. Mix coconut milk and vanilla in a bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with wet ingredients and ending with dry. Scrape sides of bowl. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
  • Bake cupcakes until testers inserted into centers come out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool in tins on wire racks. (Unfrosted cupcakes will keep, covered, for up to 3 days.) Once cupcakes are cool, mound frosting on tops. Sprinkle with unsweetened coconut. Serve immediately.

These cupcakes were delicious! I used a chocolate frosting instead of the seven-minute frosting, and it was a great combination.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cupcakes turned out really dense. I think I might have overmixed the batter.
