From keni 13 years ago
- 1 hour to make
- Serves 20-24
These sweet yet tart beauties are enhanced further with the addition of flaky coconut. Forget muffin tops, the tops of these cupcakes come out so wonderfully chewy and buttery, they don't even need a frosting. I am including what I dabbed on there, though, so feel free to experiment!

For Coconut Lime Frosting
- 1 stick butter, softened shopping list

How to make it
- Beat butter with sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at at time, beating well between each.
- Add vanilla and mix, well.
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda then add that alternately with the limeade, mixing slowly and scraping sides of the bowl(do not beat)until all is added.
- Fold in coconut.
- Spoon into papered muffin tins(I like to fill them nearly to the top to get a nice full cupcake :)
- Bake at 350 for 20-23 minutes, turning once. (for both pans, I baked for 12 minutes, turned, and baked for 10 more, and they came out perfectly)
- Let cool in muffin in for about 5 minutes, then remove to cooling rack. See Photo
- Continue with remaining batter. (mine made 20 full cupcakes)
- Let cool completely before frosting, if frosting :) See Photo
For Coconut Lime Frosting
