The Cupcake That Got Me Swooning

I tend to get very lazy once in awhile so i would always be searching for recipes that requires only a couple of steps and easy steps that doesn't require a mixer lol! yes, i'm really that lazy at times, and by coincidence, i came across this a couple of days ago......


These little pieces are very soft, melt in your mouth texture and during baking the fragrance will waft through your house. So what exactly are these?























































Have you guessed what these delicate pieces are?
They are ............. Vegan Coconut Cupcakes! Everyone knows coconut milk itself makes delicious cakes of all sorts so how could an Asian like me resist them? The best part is of course its Vegan! no butter or eggs hehe! okok i know i am showing my laziness! but everyone gets their lazy bones once in awhile don't we?
Coconut Lovers don't miss out trying these cuppies!

Vegan Coconut Cupcakes

Method
  1. Preheat oven to 180℃. Line a 12 hole muffin tray with paper cups.
  2. Sift together flour, baking powder & baking soda, whisk to combine and set aside.
  3. Add sugar and oil in a medium bowl and whisk together to combine, add in coconut milk and the sifted flour mixture and whisk until batter is smooth and creamy. Fold in dessicated coconut.

No eggs ah?
I've never done a no egg cake before, or even tasted one. But I've heard a lot of such recipes :)

wendy ^5 to coconut lover! I've done a couple of these vegan recipes before and they actually do taste great some even to the extend of extremely soft texture like this coconut cupcakes got no idea y.. most ppl tends to think that cakes w/o eggs and butter are much denser in texture but its not really true! hope you try something vegan out soon!

hanushi thanks ah! mine is not quick baking therapy is laziness therapy! =pP

Looks good & soft! The cupcake must be fragant since it has the coconut milk & dessicated coconut.

Chez Bettay "Betty Morgan" said...

Thank you so much for posting the link to my Vegan Coconut Cup Cakes! These are my favorites! But you've got to try them with a fragrant coconut oil instead of canola! The difference is incredible and I think healthier than canola. ENJOY!

j3ss kitch3n said...

janice please do try them!

Betty i'm so honored to have you here! thanks for sharing your recipes with everyone! this coconut cupcakes has now been placed in my favorites! i know adding coconut oil will make a difference but its hard to find coconut oil here on my side =)

Mother Rimmy said...

What a simple cupcake, yet so impressive. I'll try them with the coconut oil, I just happen to have some in the pantry. Wonderful!
