Here I present my Coconut Cupcakes Recipe.

Cupcakes are similar to small delicious muffins, but a little finer and nobler.

This little cakes always have a great topping/frosting as decoration.

I like to make cupcakes for birthdays, Easter and other family celebrations.

The small cakes are also great for tasting my dear colleagues on all kinds of anniversaries.

Now you certainly feel like baking…

I wish you every success and would be happy if you share the article.

3. Baking Tips for Coconut Cupcakes

I bake my cupcake bases mostly in paper moulds. This makes my cupcake a perfect finger food.

I prefer to take the sheets and place the paper moulds into them.

Without paper moulds it is also possible, then you use silicone moulds or muffin sheets directly.

You should grease both well without using paper.

I preheat the oven well, because the cupcake dough needs high heat, so that the dough rises nicely.

The cakes get a light brown caramel crust on the outside and are beautifully juicy and fluffy baked on the inside.

The batter now needs some of your time and attention. I always whip the eggs frothy with sugar, so that an airy volume comes into the dough. I sieve the flour and slowly stir it in.

The optimal baking temperature for cupcakes is 180° C at hot air. The baking time is approx. 22 minutes.

Baking tip from Chef Thomas Sixt

After baking, I let my cupcake bases cool in the muffin trays for 5-10 minutes and then remove them from the mould. With paper moulds it is very easy.

4. Topping for Coconut Cupcakes

I always prepare the topping which is also called frosting fresh.

I would even apply the topping just before serving.

I prepare the coconut cream for my Cupcake Topping or Frosting with hardened coconut fat, icing sugar, cream cheese and coconut flakes.

Why is Cupcake Topping called Frosting?

You surely remember the “taste” of ice confection…

Ice confectionery is prepared with coconut fat.

Coconut fat creates this special cooling effect in the mouth.

The Cupcake topping is frosting when prepared with coconut fat because it has the same cooling effect as ice confectionery.

Decoration of the Cupcakes

For my cupcakes I recommend coconut flakes or other sweet sprinkles of all shapes or pearls.

There are no limits to your imagination.

I sprinkle the final decoration shortly before serving on the topping of the cupcakes.
