Coconut Glazed Chocolate Donuts
So, yes, I realize it is now January and the dead of winter. However, it was freakin' cold here yesterday morning. Here in the 'burbs of Northern Virginia it was 7 degrees!! Now, granted, I grew up in the frozen tundra of South Dakota where it gets much, much colder, but for Virginia 7 degrees is COLD. So when I finally had to roll out of my toasty, warm bed (child was awake, otherwise I wouldn't have left my bed!), child asks, "Can we go to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast?" My response, "Ummmm, NO! Its way to cold." My child is 5 and already knows how to play me. He then says with a sly, overly cute grin, "But they have coffffeeeeee mommmmyyyyyyyy!" After a good chuckle, I resisted the urge for a delicious cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee as the cold kept us inside for the … [Read more...]
The Ultimate Coconut Cupcake
This weekend I planned on bringing some cupcakes to a friends house for a BBQ. Adults and kids alike, everyone loves cupcakes. I consulted my 5-year-old son as to what type of cupcakes we should bring - his quick reply was "coconut!" I did some searching, and came across a fabulous coconut cake recipe that I adapted for cupcakes. Recipe adapted from Broma Bakery: http://www.bromabakery.com/2010/10/best-coconut-cake-in-world.html Here is how I frosted the cupcakes. It goes much quicker when using a piping bag, and larger tip, especially when this recipe makes nearly 36 cupcakes.. It doesn't have to be perfect (mine never are), because you'll be rolling the wet frosting into the coconut. I hope you enjoy these cupcakes as … [Read more...]
