A white cake recipe with a coconut twist. I had some coconut in my fridge that needed to be used, and this is what I came up with. If you want a more intense coconut flavor, add a teaspoon or two of coconut extract. Try putting your coconut in a food processor or blender if you prefer a smoother-textured cupcake. This is the first recipe I’ve come up with on my own, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup applesauce
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
- 1 ¼ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
Step 2
Mix sugar, applesauce, and butter together in a bowl.
Step 3
Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until medium peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly.
Step 4
Stir egg yolks and vanilla extract into applesauce mixture; fold in egg whites. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Beat coconut milk into batter until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in shredded coconut for about 30 seconds. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
