Jumbo Coconut Cupcakes
These are the most delicious cupcakes i have ever eaten. If you are a coconut lover, give these a try! I love them frosted with my coconut cream cheese frosting.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 375.
Film the inside of the muffin / cupcake cups with nonstick cooking spray.
Set aside.
Sift the flour , baking soda , salt and nutmeg onto a sheet of waxed paper.
Cream the butter in the large bowl of a freestanding electric mixer on moderate speed for 3 minutes.
Add half of the superfine sugar and beat for 1 minute.
Add the balance of the superfine sugar and beat for 2 minutes longer.
Beat in the eggs , one at a time , mixing for 45 seconds after each addition.
Blend in the vanilla extract.
Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl frequently with a rubber spatula to keep the batter even textured.
On low-speed , alternately add the sifted mixture in three additions with the sour cream in two additions , beginning and ending with the sifted mixture.
The batter will be smooth , moderately thick , and buttercream-like.
On low speed blend in the coconut.
Divide the batter among the prepared muffin / cupcake cups , mounding it slightly in the center.
