Recipe: Mango Coconut Cupcakes
Here’s how to bring these tropical vibes to your kitchen.
Ingredients:
For the cupcakes:
• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (150 gr)
• ½ cup shredded coconut (unsweetened) (40 gr)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (113 gr)
• ⅔ cup granulated sugar (133 gr)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup coconut milk (120 gr)
• 1 cup ripe mango, diced (165 gr)
For the frosting:
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (113 gr)
• 3 cups powdered sugar (390 gr)
• 2 tbsp coconut milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup toasted shredded coconut (40 gr)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your cupcake tin with 12 liners.
2. Prepare the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
3. Mix It Up
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with coconut milk. Once combined, gently fold in the diced mango.
4. Bake
Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
5. Make the Frosting
Beat the butter until light and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then stir in coconut milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Gently fold in the toasted coconut for a delightful crunch.
6. Frost and Decorate
Once the cupcakes are cool, frost them generously. If you want to go the extra mile, sprinkle more toasted coconut on top!
