  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

Scale

Before you dive into the baking process, gather the following ingredients. This recipe is simple and requires minimal preparation, making it perfect for both novice and experienced bakers.

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create mouthwatering toasted coconut cupcakes.

  1. Preheat the Oven
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners. This ensures your cupcakes bake evenly and come out easily.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients
    • In another bowl, mix together the unsweetened coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
    • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
  5. Fold in Shredded Coconut
    • Gently fold the shredded coconut into the batter. This adds texture and enhances the coconut flavor of the cupcakes.
  6. Fill Cupcake Liners
    • Carefully fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter. This ensures the cupcakes have room to rise.
  7. Bake the Cupcakes
    • Place the cupcake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean when inserted into the center of a cupcake.
  8. Cool Before Serving
    • Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
