♥ Brazilian Fruits: Coconut Cupcakes

Difficulty: ♥
Ingridients:
140g of all purpose flour
110g of superfine sugar
125g of non-salted butter (chopped and room temp.)
100g of grated coconut
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of potato flour
2 spoons of baking powder
2 or 3 fresh eggs
1/2 cup of milk


Instructions:
This idea came to my mind a while ago, in august. I was on the beach eating coconut and I thought it would have been great to create a cupcake series with all those kind of exotic fruits. So here it is the first attempt...Hope you'll like the idea, too!

Pre-heat the oven at 250°. Put the flour, the sugar, the salt, the potato flour, the baking powder, the grated coconut and the butter (it is REALLY important that it's at room temperature!!) in the mixer. Start mixing at medium speed for at least three minutes. Then, start adding milk and eggs (one at once, for every egg you put in, you have the mixer going for a few moments).
Once all the ingredients are in, keep mixing for other three minutes. Make sure the mixture is very smooth and creamy.

Now take the cupcake pan and insert the paper boxes in the holes. Strain the mixture till you reach the half of the paper box. (don't worry! with baking cupcakes will reach the edges!)
Set the oven at 180° and bake the cupcakes for fifteen minutes.
Once baking is over, put them out of the oven and let them rest for ten minutes, then pull them out of the pan. And you're done! I usually wait at least thirty-fourty minutes before icing.

I thought this cupcake recipe would go amazingly with a simple and classic frosting recipe. I suggest the Buttercream one, without any color additions.
As decoration, use grated coconut to cover all the cupcake's top.
