I grew up in a tropical fresh coconut loving country so when I moved to the US, I was shocked by how disgusting and artificially smelling “coconut flavor” is! You were spot on with the sunscreen comparison. Lots of people who think they hate coconut probably never had real fresh coconut products before.

I really admire Claire's ratio of frosting to cake. Too little frosting is sad because frosting is delicious, but a lot of cupcakes have these towering mounds of icing on them that is overwhelming in both volume and sweetness. But these looked juuuuuust right to me.

I am a person who loves to cook but hates to bake. I simply do not do it. Ever. And I actually do not really enjoy sweets too much but I have a few I cannot resist and coconut cake is one of those things. You made the receipe seem doable for someone like me. I finally made these tonight (had to buy a hand mixer!) and I literally had to pat myself on the back. These are beyond!! I am already looking forward to making these again... Thanks Claire!!

I almost always make my cupcake into a sandwich. It makes it easier to get uniform bites (not one bite that’s mostly frosting while the next bite is practically frosting-free) and you’re less likely to lose your toppings.

@kayanncee8291 2 жыл бұрын

I noticed that when a recipe calls for creaming butter and sugar, the texture of my cakes are more uniform and seem to have better structure if my butter is more along the lines of 60-65 degrees. I always thought that softer was better (a long as the butter wasn’t melting). But making the adjustment to a slightly cooler temp of my butter makes a huge difference.
