Tiramisu & Chocolate Coconut Cupcake
I'm really slacking with this blog. I always forget about it without meaning to but I'm going to try staying on top of it now. I have two other cupcakes to post about after these, which I baked about a month ago and I'm just posting about now. I baked Tiramisu and Chocolate Coconut cupcakes, and both came out good. I don't have excellent coconut extract, and I didn't use coconut milk for them or else they would've came out much better tasting. Someone eating the Tiramisu cupcake said "Holy Shit" after taking a bite out of it (in a good way). Here are the recipes:
Tiramisu Cupcake:
1 cup soy milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tbsp of very very strong coffee (cooled)
(for the strong coffee, I have instant coffee grounds. I put 3 tbsp in a cup and 5 tbsp water)
1 tbsp of cocoa powder
Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes. Take out, set to cool
Tiramisu Butter Cream Frosting:
1/2 cup earth balance
1/2 cup shortening
3 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup soy milk
2 tbsp strong coffee (cooled)
2 tbsp tofutti cream cheese
Pipe frosting on cupcakes. Then with a sifter, sift cocoa powder over the tops. Don't completely cover the cupcake with the powder though. Garnish with a chocolate covered espresso bean.
Chocolate Coconut Cupcakes:
1 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 tsp good coconut extract
Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes. Take out, set to cool.
Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting:
1/2 cup earth balance
1/2 cup shortening
3 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup soy milk
1/4 cup tofutti cream cheese
1 tsp coconut extract
Put a thick layer of the frosting on each cupcake with a frosting knife. Cover the tops with shredded sweetened coconut.
Happy Baking!
