Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ¼ cups cake flour
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup unsalted butter, softened
⅓ cup white sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons passion fruit nectar
1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream
24 edible flowers (such as violets or pansies)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 mini muffin tins with mini paper liners.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl. Beat butter, white sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat flour mixture into creamed butter mixture, keeping mixer on low speed, until smooth. Add coconut milk and beat until batter is smooth; fold in shredded coconut.
  • Spoon rounded tablespoons batter into prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a rack to cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Mix confectioners' sugar, passion fruit nectar, and cream together in a small bowl until smooth. Dip tops of cupcakes into icing, letting excess drip off. Let icing set for 2 minutes; garnish with flowers.

These cupcakes were a disappointment. They were dry and the icing was too sweet.

The cupcakes were easy to make and turned out really well. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of icing. The passion fruit icing was a bit too tart for my taste.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I would probably use less sugar next time.

I've made these cupcakes twice now and they're always a hit. The coconut flavor is really nice and the passion fruit icing is the perfect balance of tart and sweet.

The cupcakes were easy to make and turned out great! I didn't have any passion fruit, so I used lemon instead. The lemon icing was still delicious.

I love the combination of coconut and passion fruit in these cupcakes. The cupcakes are moist and fluffy, and the icing is tangy and sweet. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
