coconut cupcakes
To make these cupcakes I modified a vanilla cupcake recipe.
You will need:
1 1/2 cups of SR flour
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 cup shredded coconut
100 g butter
1 1/3 cups sugar
beat the sugar and butter together until you have acheived a pale yellow colour, add eggs beat into mixture and add coconut and milk. slowly add the flour, mixing as you go, bake on 180 c for about 30 mins.
the best part of making cupcakes is icing and decorating them. For the chocolate icing refer to the earlier recipe.
for the lime icing I added butter to icing sugar, lime juice and a 3 drops of yellow food colouring to 1 drop of yellow to get that lovely lime green colour, I usually make the icing by feel depending on how much i need.
for the strawberry icing I mixed butter with icing sugar and a little water, a drop of red food colouring is enough for just a light pink colour and i added half a teaspoon of strawberry jelly crystals for flavour.
decorate them however you like and watch them disappear before your eyes!
