Yield Makes 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 13

100g plain flour
55g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 large eggs
90g brown or demarera sugar
60g caster sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
115g butter melted
120g coconut milk
100g icing sugar
1 1/2 tsp butter
2 tbsp dried coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius, line 12 hole cupcake tin with cases.
  • Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
  • In a larger bowl whisk egg, sugars, vanilla, melted butter and the 120g of the thickest yoghurt part of the coconut milk.
  • Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients.
  • Fill paper cases at least 2/3 full of cupcake mixture and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer when stabbed into the cupcake comes out clean.
