HOW TO MAKE COCONUT CUPCAKES!

It was the last day of school for my son Tito about two weeks ago so I decided to surprise his teachers with some coconut cupcakes! These were really nice (If I do say say myself) and I know you will enjoy making them (for when school resumes ;). You know I don't like complicated things, so here's an easy recipe for you to follow, it take less than 45 minutes for you to make this. There's a video recipe on my YouTube channel so click HERE to SUBSCRIBE so you get ALL my recipes and videos!

Last day of school!

INGREDIENTS

3 eggs

3/4 cup butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cup milk

1 cup caster sugar (or blend your sugar till it's almost fine like powder)

21/2 teaspoons baking powder

21/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla flavour

1 cup desicated coconut

DIRECTIONS

• Allow butter and eggs to be at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare your cupcake papers.
• In a bowl, add butter and whisk together with a whisk or electronic mixer for 1 minute (till light and fluffy).
• Gradually add sugar to the butter and keep beating for another minute.
• Add eggs, one at a time and beat till well combined.
• Add vanilla essence.
• Sieve flour, then add it gradually, while also adding the milk. See video on how to do this below. Add 1/2 cup of desiccated coconut. 
• Once the batter has been properly mixed, use a small scoop and transfer the batter to the cupcake papers, in the cupcake pan.
• Sprinkle the left over desiccated coconut over the cupcakes 
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
• You can test for doneness, but inserting a toothpick, if it comes out sticky, keep baking, if it comes out clean then it is ready.
• Take out the cupcakes and allow to cook for 10 minutes. 

Enjoy!
