Coconut Cupcake Recipe

Gourmet yet easy - yes it is possible. This coconut cupcake recipe is the solution.

Coconut is one of my favorite flavors and we had some fresh from the oven for a delicious dessert to dinner last night.

We ate them again today for morning tea, and although they were still nice they are best eaten fresh from the oven.

The raspberry on top provides a fantastic tart contrast to the sweetness of the coconut macaroon type cake.

Use either almond meal or hazelnut meal depending on taste and what you have in the pantry. I had run out of almond meal, so I used hazelnut meal which results in a more speckled appearance.
