Coconut cupcakes - 7/24/09
I have a coconut cupcakes recipe that I wanted to try out for a long time but sometime never found the right time to bake it. Tonight is the night to try it out. The recipe calls for desiccated coconut which is an ingredient I always have in my pantry. Desiccated coconut is coconut meat which has been shredded or flaked and then dried to remove as much moisture as possible and they are available in any Asian groceries store.

These little cakes are also perfect for Breakfast with a hot cup of coffee to start the day!
