Mini Coconut Cupcakes image

Tuesday night was eat out night! But, I wanted a little something sweet afterwards, so, I got in the kitchen to see what we had. I found a Duncan Hines Classic White cake mix and confectioners' sugar, and coconut! I decided to make coconut mini cupcakes!! We thoroughly enjoyed them and I hope y'all do too!!! As Julia Child...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 duncan hines classic cake mix, use milk instead of water and butter instead of oil
1 1/2 c coconut
6 Tbsp butter
1 lb package confectioners' sugar
1/4 c light cream, (i used whole milk, it did just as well)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Take the cake mix. Of course, I didn't exactly go by the box. I used the same measurements, but I used milk instead of water, and butter, (that's the southern gal in me!!), instead of oil. Mix all ingredients. Next, put 3/4 cup or more or less, (your preference), coconut into the cake mix and fold in. I have a mini cupcake pan and I put those cute, little cupcake cups in it. Fill them about 3/4 full and cook around 20 minutes or until done in a 350 degree oven.
  • 2. The frosting came from my mother's old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.. Here it is following: Cream butter; gradually add about half the sugar, blending well. I used a hand mixer for the blending thoughout this recipe. Beat in 2 tablespoons cream(I used milk, it works just as well) and vanilla. Gradually blend in remaining sugar. Add enough milk(cream) to make of spreading consistency. Next, add in your preference (about 3/4 cup, more or less), coconut and mix in with a spoon. Depending on the amount of frosting you want on the cupcakes, you may want to double this frosting recipe. Oh, a note on the recipe in the cookbook states: For a more creamy frosting, beat in 1 egg instead of first 2 tablespoons cream/milk. After adding remaining sugar, beat in cream for spreading consistency.

I'm a huge fan of coconut, so I knew I would love these cupcakes. And I was right! They were so moist and flavorful.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I love the flavor of these cupcakes, but they were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some extra moisture next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cupcakes didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I decided to give these cupcakes a try and I'm so glad I did! They were so moist and flavorful. The coconut flavor was subtle and not overpowering. I would definitely make these again.
