    Straight from the streets of New York City, The Treats Truck Baking Book is filled with delicious dessert recipes from creator, Kim Ima.  There are so many variations to the cookies, brownies, and cakes, this book will keep you in enough sweet treats for multiple sugar comas.

    I made the coconut cake into cupcakes and topped them with a little whipped cream and a little toasted coconut.  My husband wanted to know why we don't have coconut treats more often.  The only reason I could think of is that I always forget to buy coconut.

    I'm thinking of having a brownie baking marathon where I bake all of the brownies from the book with the different variations like peanut butter with chocolate ganache topping.  Now I have your attention, don't I?

    Well the nice folks at Morrow Cookbooks offered up 2 copies for me to giveaway!!

    And the two winners are:

    Coconut Cupcakes

    adapted from The Treats Truck Baking Book

    Ingredients:

    • 1 ½ cups butter
    • 2 cups sugar
    • 5 eggs
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 3 cups flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup buttermilk
    • 1 ¼ cups shredded sweetened coconut

    for icing:

    • Sweetened whipped cream & toasted coconut

    Cooking Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Line cupcake pan with liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

    In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar and beat with an electric mixer until creamy.  Add  eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.

    In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

    Alternate, adding flour mixture and buttermilk into batter.  Do not over mix.  Stir in coconut.

    Pour into muffin tins and bake for 20-22 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted comes out clean.

    *This yielded 24 large cupcakes and 24 mini cupcakes for me.  I froze half of the large cupcakes for a trifle I plan to make later.

    Enjoy!

    Miss
