Raspberry Coconut Cupcakes

Raspberry Coconut Cupcake

So I’m raspberry baked good addict now!!  For those of you that saw my raspberry tea cake recipe, I’ve shaken up my usual lemon and more lemon flavour pattern to introduce the humble raspberry, king of the berries!!  To make these cupcakes even better, comes the addition of delicious coconut, resulting in a truly delectable morning tea treat!!

Even better?  The recipe says “put all ingredients in a bowl and mix.”  You can have a batch of these babies in the oven in five minutes.  Yes, yes and yes.  Too easy….too delicious!!!

  2. Divide the mixture between the cases and bake for 18-20 mins (add a couple of extra mins for deep cases), until golden brown and firm to the touch. Leave to cool
