A friend is throwing a party for his child's birthday today and I made some cupcakes. At least that was about all I could give since you know, I'm not working...I modified the recipe to make it less sweet. Too much sugar ain't healthy, see. Here it is.
Coconut & Lemon Cupcakes
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
2/3 cup sugar (make it 1 cup if you want them sweet)
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 1/4 cups cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1. Beat the butter, lemon peel, sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
2. Stir in milk and coconut.
3. Fold in the flour.
4. Bake them for like, say..half an hour. Don't forget to check on the doneness.
I iced the cakes with the frosting from the Perfect Buttercream Recipe. And they're done! Easy peasy..
