Italian Cream Cupcakes image

Moist, rich, delicious... I can't stop thinking about these cupcakes. They spent all last week tempting me since I made them for an office birthday and I have officially given up sugar during the week. But I certainly did indulge in a few last weekend. Surprisingly, even after 6 days of being stored away, they still tasted...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 c butter
1/2 c crisco
2 c sugar
6 eggs, separated
1 1/4 c buttermilk
2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 c shredded coconut flakes
1/2 c pecans
FOR THE ICING
1 pkg cream cheese (8 ounces)
1/3 c butter
3 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp half & half
1/4 c shredded coconut flakes
1/4 c pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • 2. Cream butter, sugar, and crisco. Add egg yolks one at a time, reserving egg whites in a separate bowl. Mix yolks into sugar mixture after every addition.
  • 3. In another bowl, sift together flour and baking soda. Once sifted, gradually add in 1 cup to the sugar mixture. Blend. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk. Blend. Add remaining flour mixture. Blend. Add remaining buttermilk. Blend. Add vanilla and mix together.
  • 4. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff and peaks have formed. Once stiff, fold into the batter. When combined, stir in coconut and pecans. I like to run my coconut through a food processor to help alleviate the coconut texture so many people struggle with. Pour batter into prepared muffin tins, filling liners about 3/4 full. Bake for about 26 minutes, until cupcakes are a light brown.
  • 5. While cupcakes are baking, prepare the icing. Cream together cream cheese and butter. Add in powdered sugar, half & half, and vanilla. Mix together, adding more powdered sugar if necessary. Stir in coconut and pecans.
  • 6. Ice cupcakes when cool.

I had some trouble getting the cupcakes to rise properly, but other than that, they turned out great.

I found the sponge cake to be a bit dry, but the custard filling and cream cheese frosting were delicious.

These cupcakes are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they are still very good.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a fan of coconut, but I'm so glad I did. The coconut flavor is very subtle and it really complements the other flavors in the cupcake.

I'm not a big fan of custard fillings, but these cupcakes changed my mind. The filling is light and fluffy, and it pairs perfectly with the sponge cake.

These Italian Cream Cupcakes are divine! The sponge cake is moist and flavorful, and the custard filling is rich and creamy. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch, adding a bit of tanginess and sweetness.
