COCONUT CUPCAKES
Do we need to remind you that This kitchen is a coconuty girl? That’s why we make coconut rolls, coconut jollof rice, coconut fried rice and even coconut crepes! We have a serious love affair with coconut and we are not divorcing any time soon.So yesterday, we were minding our own business, trying to watch TV when the people in the show started making some cupcakes. As the unrepentant foodie that we are, we jumped right into our kitchen and made some. We didn’t plan to share this recipe right now but it was requested so we had to share- reason for no step-by-step picture as always. However, this is one of the easiest things things you will ever make. Let’s make ’em!
COCONUT CUPCAKES
Cream sugar and butter together in a bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add in milk, beaten eggs, coconut flavour and mix well.Now put in your flour, baking powder and pinch of salt and mix together.Finally pour in your coconut flakes and lightly fold it in mixture. Line a cupcake baking tray with cupcake liners- that’s the papers round the cakes as you can see in the picture. If you can’t find cupcake liners, simply grease the cupcake holes on your baking pan with vegetable oil. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375 Degrees Farenheit (about 190 Degrees Celsius)Enjoy with a glass of warm milk!
