Babe Scott: Today Show Coco Loco Cupcake Recipe Directions

  1. Preheat the oven at 350 F and line 12 muffin cups with paper inserts.
  2. Whisk flour with baking powder, shredded coconut, and salt; reserve.
  3. Beat sugar with butter in a mixer until it is fluffy. Individually add the eggs, beating the mix after each. Work in coconut extract.
  4. Turn speed to low and add the dry ingredients in three stages, alternating with coconut milk between each. Mix well.
  5. Combine vinegar and baking soda in a small bowl. Pour this into the batter and mix again.
  6. Divide batter among the muffin tins. Bake about 19 minutes, or until the tines of a fork come out clean. Let cool.
  7. To make the frosting, beat the butter in a mixer until it’s creamy. Add sugar one cup at a time, mixing as you go. Then add milk with coconut extract. Beat to smooth.
  8. Pipe the frosting over the cooled cupcakes.
  9. For the colored coconut topping, divide the coconut among four small resealable bags.
  10. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bag. Seal and shake. (Add water if needed.)
  11. Dip each frosted cupcake into the colored coconut flakes to decorate before serving.
