This recipe is taken from a food magazine in Indonesia. Very easy yet tasty.. I used to make these cakes at home, and now, every time I make it, they remind me of my home. :)

Time 50m

Yield 15 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tablespoon green food coloring
1/3 cup desiccated coconut, soak in water to moisten
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Grease 15 cupcake moulds.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat sugar and eggs on high speed until pale and creamy.
  • Fold in quarter of the coconut milk, quarter of the flour, then stir gently to combine. Repeat this step until all milk and flour are folded inches.
  • Fold in the food coloring and stir to combine.
  • Put 2-3 tbs of dessicated coconut into each mould, press firmly into base.
  • Fill the moulds with batter until full.
  • Place in a saucepan half-filled with hot water, cover and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, then steam for 35-50 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • When the cakes are cooked, leave to stand for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each mould, then ease the pudding out onto a serving plate.

I'm going to try making these cupcakes again, but I'm going to make a few changes to the recipe.

I think I overmixed the batter, because my cupcakes were a bit dense.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cupcakes were too sweet for my taste.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cupcakes didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected.

I used a different type of coconut milk than the recipe called for and the cupcakes still turned out great.

These cupcakes are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a day ahead of time and they were still fresh and delicious.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these cupcakes. The coconut flavor is very subtle.

These cupcakes are a great way to use up leftover coconut milk. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.
