How to Make Coconut Choco Delights
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two standard cupcake pans with 14 foil or paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup shortening using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large egg whites and beat for 3 minutes until very light and foamy.
- Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, followed by 1 cup evaporated milk, then the remaining dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon coconut extract and 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut.
- Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter.
- Bake for 25-27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cupcakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting: Place 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips in the bowl of a food processor.
- Heat 1/2 cup evaporated milk until it simmers. Pour over the chocolate.
- Let sit for 10 minutes, then pulse until smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. While the processor is running, gradually add 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter.
- Process until the frosting is thick and smooth. If needed, refrigerate for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a medium-sized round tip.
- Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes in a decorative swirl or pattern.
- Enjoy your delicious Coconut Choco Delights!
