Coconut Cuppies (Cupcakes)


Method

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 24 mini cupcake tin. Beat butter, sugar and Coconut Extract Paste, until pale and creamy. Add egg and beat to combine.

Step 2
Add coconut to bowl, and mix to combine. Add the flour into butter mixture alternately with the milk. Mix until just combined.

Step 3
Divide mixture between cupcake holes. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into one cake comes out clean. Stand cakes in pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.

Step 4
For the icing, beat all ingredients until light and fluffy. Spread over cupcakes and finish with a little coconut on top.
