Autumnal Baking: Cocoa & Coconut Cupcakes


It’s been a while since I’ve put a baking post up so I’m pleased to be back with one. I was baking quite a bit over the summer and then other things got in the way a little bit. I’ve made cocoa cupcakes a number of times now, and one of my go-to recipes is from my Fast Cakes book by Mary Berry. Cupcakes are easy to whip up in no time at all.

Desiccated coconut is one of my favourite baking ingredients, I just love the taste and texture as well as adding a bit of natural sweetener. I added a small amount of the desiccated coconut to the mixture as well as some on the top of the cakes just before going into the oven. They turned out pretty well, the rich cocoa and sweetness of the coconut came through.

Have you been baking recently?
