Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ¼ cups cake flour
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup unsalted butter, softened
⅓ cup white sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons passion fruit nectar
1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream
24 edible flowers (such as violets or pansies)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 mini muffin tins with mini paper liners.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl. Beat butter, white sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat flour mixture into creamed butter mixture, keeping mixer on low speed, until smooth. Add coconut milk and beat until batter is smooth; fold in shredded coconut.
  • Spoon rounded tablespoons batter into prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a rack to cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Mix confectioners' sugar, passion fruit nectar, and cream together in a small bowl until smooth. Dip tops of cupcakes into icing, letting excess drip off. Let icing set for 2 minutes; garnish with flowers.

This recipe seems a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my usual cupcake recipe.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I'm going to have to find a substitute.

These cupcakes were a huge hit at my party! The coconut and passion fruit flavors were a perfect combination, and the cupcakes were moist and fluffy. I'll definitely be making these again.
