Mini Coconut Cupcakes image

Tuesday night was eat out night! But, I wanted a little something sweet afterwards, so, I got in the kitchen to see what we had. I found a Duncan Hines Classic White cake mix and confectioners' sugar, and coconut! I decided to make coconut mini cupcakes!! We thoroughly enjoyed them and I hope y'all do too!!! As Julia Child...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 duncan hines classic cake mix, use milk instead of water and butter instead of oil
1 1/2 c coconut
6 Tbsp butter
1 lb package confectioners' sugar
1/4 c light cream, (i used whole milk, it did just as well)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Take the cake mix. Of course, I didn't exactly go by the box. I used the same measurements, but I used milk instead of water, and butter, (that's the southern gal in me!!), instead of oil. Mix all ingredients. Next, put 3/4 cup or more or less, (your preference), coconut into the cake mix and fold in. I have a mini cupcake pan and I put those cute, little cupcake cups in it. Fill them about 3/4 full and cook around 20 minutes or until done in a 350 degree oven.
  • 2. The frosting came from my mother's old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.. Here it is following: Cream butter; gradually add about half the sugar, blending well. I used a hand mixer for the blending thoughout this recipe. Beat in 2 tablespoons cream(I used milk, it works just as well) and vanilla. Gradually blend in remaining sugar. Add enough milk(cream) to make of spreading consistency. Next, add in your preference (about 3/4 cup, more or less), coconut and mix in with a spoon. Depending on the amount of frosting you want on the cupcakes, you may want to double this frosting recipe. Oh, a note on the recipe in the cookbook states: For a more creamy frosting, beat in 1 egg instead of first 2 tablespoons cream/milk. After adding remaining sugar, beat in cream for spreading consistency.

These cupcakes are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cupcakes didn't turn out very well. They were dry and the coconut flavor was overpowering.

These cupcakes were easy to make and they turned out great! I used a gluten-free flour blend and they still came out moist and fluffy.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I actually really liked these cupcakes. The coconut flavor was subtle and the cupcakes were very moist. I would definitely make these again.
