Piña Colada Cupcakes

Piña Colada Cupcakes

 If you are a coconut fan, you are going to love these! They are non-alcoholic but if you wanted to reflect the real Piña Colada cocktail, you could soak your pineapple in rum… which would be dreamy!

Servings 7 cupcakes

Ingredients
 
 

  • 170 g Flour plain, white, all-purpose
  • 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 160 ml Milk almond, unsweetened
  • 130 g Sugar white, super-fine
  • ¾ teaspoon Baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 90 ml Vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut extract

For the Icing

  • 240 g Butter
  • 400 g Icing sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Coconut extract
  • 1 tablespoon Water if necessary

For the decoration

  • 2 tablespoon Desiccated coconut
  • 2 tablespoon Roasted coconut chips
  • 7 slices Pineapple

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180°C/ 357F. Prepare 7 cupcakes cases. Place them into a baking tray ready for baking.
  • Whisk milk and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Once curdled, add your oil, sugar and 1 teaspoon coconut extract. Combine. In a separate bowl, sieve the flour, baking powder, soda + salt and combine. Spoon your dry ingredients into your milk mixture, whisking as you go.
  • Spoon the batter into cases evenly. Place in the oven for 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes, take your cupcakes out of the oven and leave to cool (you can leave them overnight in an airtight container if you wish).
  • Place the butter into a standing mixer. Beat on a medium-high speed for around 1 minute, creaming the butter. Add the icing sugar and 2 teaspoon coconut extract. Beat on a medium speed for approximately 1 minute and then increase to a high speed for a further 20-30 seconds. The icing should become white in colour and smooth. You can beat your icing for longer to reach your desired texture/ colour. At this stage, you may need to add some water to soften the icing. Add this 1 teaspoon at a time and beat.
  • Place your icing into a piping bag with your desired tip. Squeeze the icing on to the cupcake, before decorating with the desiccated and roasted coconut. Place a pineapple slice into the icing and serve! I hope you enjoy.
