CHOCOLATE AND COCONUT CUPCAKES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE FROSTING
This morning I started out with a optimistic view of myself, I would do this blog post the first thing and then I would pass on to some job related things and then finish the morning off with a quick cleaning of the house or at least parts of it. But here I am, no blog post written and half of the morning is gone and to at least get started on it I need to whine like this. I wonder what it is that make you come back time and time again, it surely can’t be for the texts like the one of today. And the sad thing is that I feel really good, air is warm, sun is shining and it’s is perfectly fine day and then I have to disappoint myself like this… I blame it on all this social networking I keep on doing. No, I blame it on myself, my incapacity to just do things when they are supposed to be done.
Well after this public self-flagellation, I think I owe you something sweet and as it happens, I have just the perfect thing for you, chocolate and coconut cupcakes, with or without frosting. Personally I go for the plain ones because a) it gets too sweet for me and b) I don’t like white chocolate but several elements in the family took care of the cupcakes with frosting and rather quickly too.
CHOCOLATE AND COCONUT CUPCAKES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE FROSTING
quite a few
cupcakes:
4 eggs
250 g/ 8,8 oz sugar
200 g/ 7 oz dark chocolate
100 g/ 3,5 oz unsalted butter
165 ml/0,7 cup coconut milk
50 g/ 1,7 oz coconut flakes
300 g/ 10,6 oz flour
1 heaped tsp baking powder
1 small pinch salt
frosting:
200 g/ 7 oz white chocolate
200 g/ 7 oz sour cream
- Melt the butter and chocolate, I usually do it together but you have to be careful so that the chocolate not get burnt.
- Whisk eggs and sugar fluffy and white in a bowl.
- Add chocolate, butter, coconut milk and flakes and stir well.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl and stir until you have a smooth batter.
- Spoon into cupcake forms and bake in a pre-heated oven (200°C/390°F) for 10-12 minutes but you better check with a toothpick to see if they are ready.
- Leave to cool down and while they do that, melt the white chocolate in a bain-marie. Or you just eat them as they are.
- When they are cool, put the sour cream in a bowl and whisk it while you pour the white chocolate into it.
- Mix well and spread the frosting over the cupcakes. If you want a frosting that is.
Perfect! Heaven! This was just waht I needed to cheer up a blue monday morning… at least outside the sun is shining! Thank you Ilva!
Ah, why indeed do we keep coming back? Your sparkling personality. Yes. Gorgeous photography? Definitely. Stunning food styling. Uh huh! Luscious, delicious food? All the time! And I love chocolate and coconut! I’m not a white chocolate fan but I’d certainly knock back a couple of these. Yum. Copying recipe. And social networking keeps me from getting almost anything done!
Mondays mornings…. full of intentions and we don’t always follow them ! don’t worry, you aren’t the only one !
I love the picture of the glycine…. such a nice smell too !
Have a good afternoon
it’s called “structured procrastination”; the theory being that, at the end, you will have accomplished more than if you had done it right away. Check it out! Happy Monday and Good Week.
Oh, and the cupcakes, look yummy, too
Apologies for the double comment.
Simply beautiful! Cupcakes and styling!

Oh my gosh, this frosting, I would love this frosting, I need to try this soon!
I like the looks of this, Ilva. Alot!

Well it looks like you got one of the items crossed off of your list
and what a lovely item it is! those cupcakes are beautiful, wish I would eat one right now. Thank you for sharing… I’ve been reading your blog for a while now and I really enjoy reading your entries.
Whine away, we all have off days when we can’t be arsed. (that’s a technical expression…well maybe)
Love the cupcakes, we’ll have them made for the weekend when I visit my Godaughters (twins). Peter’s better too, and I’ll see waht I can do about the garden ;o)
BTW, Did you get my email on fave cookbooks?
These cupcakes sound great! I’ve never had a cupcake like this before. Was it moist? I’m bookmarking this recipe.
I believe I’m only capable of a very limited social network. I blame it on it taking nothing to distract me.
Great cupcake “papers”. I’d like one plain … although that icing does look good.
I just stumbled upon your page and I know that I’ll be coming back. The pictures are beautiful and those cupcakes sound amazing.
great msg for me, thanks a lot dude˙﹏˙
du är rolig du Ilva! såklart kommer vi tillbaka, om och om igen. Dina bilder är helt fantastiska! Det verkar ju inte spela ngn roll vilket motiv du tar dig an – de blir fina hur som helst. Recepten är mkt tilltalande och oftast enkla och känslan av att “det här klarar jag också av” innfinner sig. Att du skriver som du gör nu är ju nästan bara skönt – du är lika “mänsklig” som oss andra
Det tar tid att blogga! Och visst har vår utveckling av socialiserande med Twitter, fb och allt annat också bidragit till mer tid framför datorn och faktiskt snor det lite tid, för mig i alla fall, från bloggandet och det hinns liksom inte alltid med att göra allt jag skulle vilja framför datorn. Personligen tycker jag därför inte det gör något om man inte gör nya poster hela tiden. Man vill ju liksom hinna med allt och alla och inte missa någon.
Don’t be too harsh on yourself… It will all get done, one way or another, on time or a little late…
Your blog is wonderful, that’s why everybody keeps coming back…
Vem känner inte igen sig i det där? Men jag tycker att du alltid får så mycket gjort! Det är nog så att kroppen bromsar en ibland därför att man behöver det. Kram!
I’m happy I could do something for you! thanks!
sweet is what you are, thank you!
yes the smell is divine, I have lots of it just outside the kitchen…
Thank you Gosia!
thank you!
Thanks. Try it, it’s nice!
thaks, I’m happy you like it!
good! xo
Thank you so much roxan, it means a lot to me!
Oh yes, I got it , I’m just impolite and lazy! Thanks! I’m happy Peter is better, scary when they get sick if they usually anever do.
Thank you, yes they are moist if you con’t bake them too long! I actually think they are nicer when they are a bit undersooked…
yes, I really should stop all this tweeting etc and keep in touch via chat and emails…
You are so welcome! thanks a lot!
jaa du Åsa, det gör det verkligen. alldeles för mycket faktiskt. Önskar jag kunde ändra det men det är svåårt! Plus att jag nu har så många vänner via nätet (som du t.ex) och det är ju enda sättet att hålla kontakten ju! pusspuss
Sally, thank you SO MUCH! xo
jo man får väl ta och acceptera det ibland! JKramm till dig med!
Why do I come back again and again? Maybe its because I see myself in what you write. Maybe its the promise of some beautiful pictures.
And maybe its for this lovely cupcake.
