So I decided

To start putting more recipes and pictures of what I cook during the day. I did have a blog dedicated to recipes but I deleted it a while back...ooops.

Well I guess I will just do everything on this one.

So today I made Toasted Coconut cupcakes... They are so yummy.

I totally made this recipe up but here it is

1/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup white sugar

3 eggs

1/4 cup sweetened coconut

1 1/2 cup flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 cup coconut milk

1/4 cup condensed milk

1/4 cup milk

Icing

1 package of cream cheese

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup condensed milk

2 tablespoons of milk

1/4 toasted coconut for garnish

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners. Beat together butter, coconut milk,condensed milk and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time until the mixture is uniform. On low speed mix in the coconut. In a separate bowl mix together flour and baking powder. Continue running the mixer on low speed and alternately add in the coconut milk, milk and the flour mixture, scraping down the bowl regularly. Pour or scoop into muffin tins and bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

While the cupcakes are cooling you can toast the coconut and make the icing. To toast the coconut, heat a medium skillet to medium-low and toss the coconut until fragrant. It can burn quickly so pay attention. To make the icing beat together sugar and cream cheese until fluffy then add in coconut cream. 

Frost the cupcakes with the icing, topping each with a sprinkling of toasted coconut.
