Ingredients

coconut whipped cream

for topping

  • toasted coconut flakes
  • mini chocolate chips

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with liners.
  • In a bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, soda and salt.
  • In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the sugar and egg until slightly fluffy and combined. Add in the oil and melted butter, beating until combined. Add in the extracts and beat on medium speed, scraping down the sides if needed. Add in half of the dry ingredients while beating on low speed. Add in the coconut milk, continuing to beat on low speed then add in the dry ingredients. Beat until a smooth, silky batter forms then stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
  • Use a 1/4 cup measure to evenly fill the liners 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are set. Let the cupcakes cool completely, the frost with the coconut whipped cream and top with the chocolate chips and coconut.

  • Take the cans of coconut milk out of the fridge. Open the cans and discard the liquid (save it for a smoothie!), then scoop the firm coconut meat into the bowl of your electric mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until completely whipped and thick. Beat in the sugar and extract. Set the bowl in the fridge until ready to use.
