Creamy Coconut

After a busy week, I'm back on my baking experiments! : )

I've been pondering what to make for Fafa --
Since he likes coconut flavored stuff,
i decided to make up something tailor-made for him.


A whole bunch of ingredients...

I found a recipe online for a creamy coconut layered cake,
but decided that it'd be too complicated, to transport
a huge cake with frosting from Forest Hills to Chinatown...
Plus Fafa is not a huge dessert person,
so i thought creating something small might be ideal : )


Fill the muffin cups with the batter,
which contains coconut milk : )


Then whip up the filling:
coconut milk, sweetened coconut flakes,
sugar, sour cream... MMmmMMMmmm... : )


Place it on top of the cake batter,
then top it off with some more coconut flakes : D


Since there was so much batter left,
I decided to make 2 loaf cakes also : )
Coconut should go well with white chocolate chips, too -
I suppose?!
So let's experiment and put some in,
then top it with the fillings!



After baking @ 350F:

Hot Chocolate Cupcake

Happy Birthday, Kenny!

For our krazy bro, i decided to try making this Hot Chocolate Cupcake : )

Here's the recipe : )

Ingredients:

220g dark chocolate broken into small chunks(minimum 70% cocoa content)
250g butter
3 large eggs
200gms sugar
1 1/4 cup plain flour
1 pinch salt
Marshmallows - for an added touch of melted gooey goodness!

Instructions:
Melt chocolate and butter in a microwavable bowl.
Heat for 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds.
Cream eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl till pale and fluffy.
Beat in the smooth chocolate mixture and add in the flour and salt.
Beat for another 1-2 minutes till well combined.
Spoon into cupcake molds/cases and bake for 10-15 minutes in preheated 375 degree oven.
They should still be soft and wobbly in the centers.
If using mini muffin pan; bake for 6-7 minutes.

Now here's the exciting part that turns it to HOT-chocolate-like:
Top with sprinkles of marshmallows of different sizes,
and pop back under the grill for 1-2 minutes to create a full "Hot-chocolate" effect.

YAY~ isn't that easy? : D
& the best part is... it's gooey, warm & the richness is just right! : )
