You can also view all my bakery recipe videos and tips on the following channels:My latest Amycakes Bakery recipe features tender, moist and buttery coconut cupcakes that are made even more decadent by a rich cream of coconut glaze. The best part? They’re easy to make!The made-from-scratch coconut cream cupcake batter comes together quickly by hand, no mixer necessary! They're frosted with a fluffy and quick stabilized whipped cream, then topped off with lightly toasted coconut flakes for extra texture and crunch.Since these cupcakes use the Two-Bowl Method, no mixer is required and you can whip up the cupcake batter in less than 10 minutes. By using just two bowls, we'll be whisking the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then adding melted salted butter.Once the cupcakes are baked, we'll poke holes in the cake and drizzle delicious Cream of Coconut onto each warm cupcake, so that it melts into every crevice. This is a similar method to my Lemon Cream Cake with Lemon Drizzle. The result is an ultra-moist and decadent cupcake that pairs perfectly with light and airy whipped cream.&nbsp;These coconut cream cupcakes are made with pure coconut extract in the cake batter and whipped cream frosting. The natural and pure coconut flavor complements the buttery cupcake batter and cream of coconut.I topped the cupcakes with desiccated coconut flakes--there is something so pretty and elegant about these flakes, and they really enhance the look of the cupcakes. You can also use coconut chips or shredded coconut. I love the flavor of Olive Nation Pure Coconut Extract and Desiccated Coconut Flakes. (Olive Nation has provided Amycakes Bakes readers with the code&nbsp;AB20&nbsp;for 20% off on their website. They also sell it on&nbsp;Amazon).Disclosure: Olive Nation has provided the discount code AB20 for Amycakes Bakes readers, and I make a small commission when the code is used on their website at no additional cost to you. I only promote products that I love, and Olive Nation is a company that I have ordered from since the beginning of Amycakes Bakery. Thank you for your support!The fluffy whipped cream frosting melts in your mouth with hints of vanilla and coconut. Unlike traditional whipped cream, which can be prone to weeping and deflating, stabilized whipped cream frosting can be prepared hours before your event—you just need an electric mixer, and my favorite bakery secret ingredient, Instant Clearjel.&nbsp; The whipped cream piped onto your cupcakes will stay firm and stable for at least 2 days in the fridge.This bakery recipe uses Instant ClearJel, a type of cornstarch that serves as both a thickener and a binder. It's often used by professional bakers in filling and pie recipes because it produces a smoother and glossier consistency than cornstarch, tapioca, or other starches. It also enhances moisture and texture in cakes and thickens and stabilizes frostings. For these reasons, I'm convinced all bakers should have Instant Clearjel in their pantry. 🙂I first started using Instant Clearjel at Amycakes Bakery after researching the second ingredient in Instant Pudding Mix--"modified cornstarch". Since then, I have used it in nearly all of my bakery recipes including my Vanilla Almond Cake and Soft and Gooey Bakery-Style Cinnamon Rolls. The benefit of using it in these Coconut Cream Cupcakes is that they're amazingly light and moist with a soft texture, and the whipped cream frosting is thick and stable.Can I substitute out the Instant Clearjel? I haven't yet tested that (when I test substitutions for instant clearjel I include them within the recipe card, as seen in other recipes). However, in most recipes, you can use Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix in a 1.5 ratio to the instant clearjel in the cupcake batter (i.e. 3 tablespoon Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix for the 2 tablespoon Instant Clearjel in a 1x batch). For the whipped cream frosting, you can read about possible substitutions in my Stabilized Whipped Cream post. Can I turn this recipe into a cake? This recipe is best suited in cupcake form. I plan to share a coconut cake version in the future! How do you store coconut cupcakes with whipped cream frosting? Due to the whipped cream, these cupcakes will need to stay refrigerated in an airtight container until serving. They will also freeze well in an airtight container, as the instant clearjel keeps the whipped cream from weeping.This recipe produces a fancy coconut cupcake that is surprisingly easy to make, even if you're a beginner at baking! I hope you give them a try and let me know what you think! 🙂Thanks for Reading.&nbsp;❤️from votes👩‍🍳 For the most accurate baking results, use the grams measurements with a kitchen scale.Watch the quick recipe videoPrint RecipePin Recipe2-oz ScoopGreaseproof Cupcake LinersCupcake TinsSilicone Pastry Brush18 inch Disposable Frosting Bagkitchen scaleRead my article Instant Clearjel: a Magical Bakery Ingredient to see why I think this ingredient is worth having in your pantry.&nbsp; Instant Clearjel must always be whisked thoroughly with other dry ingredients before being added to wet ingredients to avoid clumping.&nbsp; (Make sure what you purchase is labeled as "Instant."&nbsp; Cooktyle Clearjel is a different product that does not work the same in cakes).&nbsp;I use Coco Real Cream of Coconut which comes in a squeeze bottle.&nbsp; Whichever brand you use, just make sure it is labeled as "cream of coconut" and not "coconut cream."&nbsp; Cream of coconut is often found in the beverage mixer aisle.&nbsp; Stir or shake your cream of coconut before using it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Feel free to substitute sweetened shredded coconut for the unsweetened coconut, but you may wish to decrease the powdered sugar in the whipped cream to ½ cup (56g) in a 1x batch.&nbsp;&nbsp;Calories are estimated using a nutrition calculator.
