Coconut Milk Cupcakes

CAKE INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature

1 1/4 cups sugar

3 eggs, room temperature

1 cup canned coconut milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 to 3/4 cup of sweetened, dried, shredded coconut

CAKE DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Using an electric mixer, blend butter until creamy; add sugar and continue mixing until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl halfway through to ensure an even texture. Add eggs, one at a time, beating for 30 seconds each to ensure mixing, also scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl every once in a while to properly incorporate all ingredients.

Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in one bowl. In another bowl, add 1 cup of a well-shaken can of coconut milk and vanilla. Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients and mix; then add 1/2 of the wet ingredients. Continue alternating with the wet and dry mixtures, ending with the dry. Turn off the mixer once ingredients are just combined. Fold in the coconut.

Scoop into cupcake papers and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, rotating the pan after the first 15 minutes to ensure even baking. Be sure to check with a toothpick to see if the cupcakes are done. If the toothpick comes out of the cupcake clean, then they’re ready.
