COCONUT RUM AND LIME CUPCAKES
Steps:
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line muffin pans with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, sift the cake flour, granulated sugar, baking soda and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the oil, buttermilk, coconut milk, vanilla and eggs. Mix until all the ingredients are fully combined, about 1 minute. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix only until all the ingredients are barely incorporated. Fold in the shredded coconut. Fill the liners about three-quarters of the way full and bake, 17 to 19 minutes.
- Let the cupcakes cool slightly before removing them from the pan and transferring to a cooling rack.
- For the lime curd: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add the eggs and yolks, and then beat until combined. Add the lime juice. The mixture WILL look curdled. Do not fear, it will smooth out as the butter melts when you cook the mixture.
- In a stainless steel saucepan, cook the mixture over low heat until it smooths out. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick, 10 to 12 minutes. Do not let it boil. Remove the curd from the heat and stir in the lime zest. Put the curd in a clean bowl and wrap it tightly. Place in the fridge until cool, about 1 hour.
- For the frosting: In electric mixing bowl with paddle attachment, beat the butter until fluffy and pale in color. Add the powdered sugar gradually and beat until fully combined. Drizzle in the coconut milk and rum. Add more powdered sugar or coconut rum to adjust the consistency of the frosting.
- Core out the center of the cupcakes, fill with lime curd and frost with coconut rum frosting.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard cupcake pan with 12 standard cupcake liners.
- Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Set the bowl aside.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, cream the brown sugar and margarine with the whisk attachment, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. In a small bowl or cup, combine 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water and the egg replacer and stir to dissolve the egg replacer. Add the egg replacer to the sugar and mix until combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the soymilk and vinegar and set aside.
- Turn the mixer speed to low and slowly add the dry ingredients and the soymilk, alternating between the two, ending with the soymilk.

- To assemble: With a plastic drinking straw or a small paring knife, make holes in the center of each cupcake. Squeeze the Coconut Custard Filling in the center of each cupcake until filled but not overflowing, about 1 tablespoon per cupcake. Pipe a dollop of Spiced Rum Frosting onto each cupcake and garnish with a few pieces of the Cracked Brown Sugar Brittle. This recipe was created by a contestant during a cooking competition. The Food Network Kitchens have not tested it for home use, therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.
- In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepot, stir together 1 3/4 cups of the coconut milk and the sugar. Heat on medium-high until the mixture begins to bubble around the edges.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup coconut milk and the cornstarch into a slurry. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the hot sugar mixture while whisking. Cook for 2 more minutes while stirring. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Put the cooled Coconut Custard into a piping bag and cut 1/4-inch off the tip. Yield: 2 cups.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the margarine and shortening until completely combined. Scrape the bottom of the bowl to ensure that all ingredients are mixed thoroughly. On low speed, slowly add the powdered sugar a little at a time. Add the cinnamon, allspice and cloves, and mix. Scrape the bottom of the bowl. Add the rum and mix to combine. Scrape the bottom of the bowl and mix on medium-high speed until all the ingredients are combined and the frosting is fluffy, about 2 minutes. Put the frosting into a pastry bag and cut 1/2-inch off the tip. Yield: 2 quarts.

Tips:
- Use fresh coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk adds a rich, creamy flavor to the cupcakes and frosting. If you don't have fresh coconut milk on hand, you can substitute canned unsweetened coconut milk, but be sure to use full-fat coconut milk for the best results.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners only halfway: This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing during baking.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cupcakes are fully baked.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to adhere better to the cupcakes.
- Use a piping bag to frost the cupcakes: This will give you a professional-looking finish.
- Garnish the cupcakes with toasted coconut or shredded coconut: This will add a finishing touch of flavor and texture.
