Gluten Free Chocolate Coconut Cupcakes and Gluten Free Coconut Cupcakes make excellent birthday treats.
RECIPE IDEA: Gluten Free Coconut Cupcakes (CAKE!)
Hi. It’s Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you about some super delicious Gluten Free Coconut Cupcakes (Cake). Don asked for coconut; I wanted chocolate; our granddaughter Taevi didn’t have a preference, so I made both. I’ve already posted the Gluten Free Chocolate Cake, so now I’m writing up the Coconut ones. And today, 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 probably doesn’t even things out, and I probably ate about a million calories, but what a delightful lunch.
You’re gonna wanna eat these cupcakes.
