Coconut Easter nest cupcakes

Coconut Cupcakes

Pre-heat the oven to 170C.

Line a cupcake/muffin tray with paper cups.

Combine the sugar, eggs, butter, coconut together and sift in the flour. Mix until well combined, for about 1-2 minutes.

Add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix for a further minute.

Divide the batter equally between the paper cups.

Bake for 20-22 minutes.

Leave to cool completely in the baking tray before frosting.

Toast the coconut flakes on medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.

Buttercream

Beat the butter for 5 minutes.

Add in the sifted icing sugar in 2 additions, beating for 5 minutes after each addition.

Add the milk and vanilla extract.

Beat for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Frost your cupcakes as desired!

Dip the frosted cupcake into the coconut and fill the ‘nest’ with speckled eggs.

Enjoy!
