Italian Cream Cupcakes image

Moist, rich, delicious... I can't stop thinking about these cupcakes. They spent all last week tempting me since I made them for an office birthday and I have officially given up sugar during the week. But I certainly did indulge in a few last weekend. Surprisingly, even after 6 days of being stored away, they still tasted...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 c butter
1/2 c crisco
2 c sugar
6 eggs, separated
1 1/4 c buttermilk
2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 c shredded coconut flakes
1/2 c pecans
FOR THE ICING
1 pkg cream cheese (8 ounces)
1/3 c butter
3 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp half & half
1/4 c shredded coconut flakes
1/4 c pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • 2. Cream butter, sugar, and crisco. Add egg yolks one at a time, reserving egg whites in a separate bowl. Mix yolks into sugar mixture after every addition.
  • 3. In another bowl, sift together flour and baking soda. Once sifted, gradually add in 1 cup to the sugar mixture. Blend. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk. Blend. Add remaining flour mixture. Blend. Add remaining buttermilk. Blend. Add vanilla and mix together.
  • 4. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff and peaks have formed. Once stiff, fold into the batter. When combined, stir in coconut and pecans. I like to run my coconut through a food processor to help alleviate the coconut texture so many people struggle with. Pour batter into prepared muffin tins, filling liners about 3/4 full. Bake for about 26 minutes, until cupcakes are a light brown.
  • 5. While cupcakes are baking, prepare the icing. Cream together cream cheese and butter. Add in powdered sugar, half & half, and vanilla. Mix together, adding more powdered sugar if necessary. Stir in coconut and pecans.
  • 6. Ice cupcakes when cool.

I'm not a big fan of cupcakes, but these were really good. The cake was moist and the frosting was light and fluffy.
