COCONUT CUPCAKES
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup coconut flakes
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ¼ cup sugar
3 eggs
¾ cups coconut milk
1 vanilla bean
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. With the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together until light. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla and coconut milk and mix on low speed. Finally, sift the dry ingredients directly into the bowl and mix well on a low-medium speed. Spoon the batter into muffin tins lined with paper. Bake for 18 minutes. Cool on a rack. Frost with Marshmallow Frosting and dust with coconut.
MARSHMALLOW FROSTING
1 ½ cups sugar
1 Tablespoon corn syrup
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup water
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
In a double broiler, combine the sugar, corn syrup, cream of tartar, salt, water, and eggs and beat over simmering water for three minutes or until the mixture is hot. Remove from heat- add vanilla, and immediately begin whipping for three minutes or so, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
