Make cupcakes as directed in Basic Cupcake How-To, adding sweetened coconut to dry ingredients, and using coconut milk and vanilla for wet ingredients. Once cupcakes are cool, mound frosting on tops. Sprinkle with unsweetened coconut. Serve immediately.
I use 1/3 cup soft brown sugar & 1 cup caster sugar in this one, it works great, light & moist, try putting a filling into it before frosting (lemon or passionfruit curd or caramel) you'll keep them coming back for more ......
Thank you!
These cupcakes are good but a little crumbly, not as soft and moist as I would prefer. Next time, I'll compare notes with other coconut cupcake recipes on the web and adjust accordingly. The accompanying frosting recipe is definitely a keeper though. Also, I made a 5 in mini cake with this that was pretty good too!
These cupcakes are divine!!! I had to double the recipe because the 1st batch went quick.
This is a keeper! Thank you! :)
These cupcakes are really good! I followed the directions perfectly and they came out perfect. I made two batches and then needed a third batch but had run out of coconut milk, which I substituted for whole milk, and I didn't see or taste any difference.
I am allergic to eggs and corn (corn syrup in the 7minute frosting). How would I make this recipe without eggs or corn?
I converted this recipe into a Gluten Free Delight!!! Has any one made a cake with this recipe? If so, what size cake pan(s) and cook time.
Thanks, Joanne's GF Goodies,LLC
Im nervouse to try this last time i made a cake and it turned into bread
this tasted like coconut tastykake! so good they disappeared in one day!
Will the seven minute frosting keep overnight without refrigeration? I plan to use this recipe to ice cupcakes for my niece's wedding.
these have become a fasy family favorite. sooo yummy!!
they are great unfrosted and packed in lunches.
one can of coconut milk makes two batches, i just store in the fridge till i make the second batch.
I made these for a baby shower along with the strawberry cupcakes with strawberyy buttercream and both got rave reviews. A lot of people said they were the best cupcakes they had ever eaten. I'm definately keeping these in mind for future parties.
to cr8z1, yes they do end up tasting like marshamallow
I made these cupcakes tonight, and I also thought they were scrumptious! Great and easy recipe!
I made these cupcakes today and they are heavenly! They look like big snowballs. Great recipe! I will definately make these again. Thanks Martha!
Does the Seven Minute Frosting end up tasting like marshmellow?
You can get them at cake decorating stores or online. Global Sugar Art has them.
I love the papers this coconut cupcake was baked in. Where can I buy them?
