Gluten Free Coconut Cupcakes (CAKE!)

Hi. It's Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you about some super delicious Gluten Free Coconut Cupcakes (Cake). The first time I made them, Don asked for coconut; I wanted chocolate; our granddaughter Taevi didn't have a preference, so I made both. And that day, they were nearly a disaster!

I decided to make both kinds of cupcakes for Taevi's birthday party, and what happened? The darn oven stopped working! So in the middle of baking, I had to take them to my neighbor's house to finish baking. Thankfully, she was home and we had a lovely visit.

And after I frosted the cupcakes with Basic Frosting and coconut, I had to try them, didn't I? (sugar buzz here) ... To combat all that sugar, I ate a bunch of green olives. I know. It doesn't even things out, and I probably ate about a million calories, but what a delightful lunch. I've already posted the Gluten Free Chocolate Cake, so now I'm sharing the Coconut ones.

You're gonna wanna eat these cupcakes.

What You Need

You'll need measuring cups and measuring spoons, a cupcake pan, cupcake liners, an electric mixer, and coconut and gluten free flour, of course.
