Although the Autumn Equinox hasn't officially passed, the weather and atmosphere seems very much like Autumn itself.
I hope you all have had a lovely summer holiday and enjoyed what some would say was a very hot summer.
This week's recipe, in actual fact, is alike to a recipe I posted a while back ;Raspberry and Coconut Macaroon Tarts. As it happens, the majority of you loved this recipe tremendously. Therefore, there's room for a pt.2(in cupcake form).
* Plus, seeing this recipe on one of my favourite Youtuber's channel got me even more excited about making these set of cupcakes.
Without further ado, to make these delicious, definitely-not-autumnal cupcakes,you'll need:
429g of plain flour
265g of caster sugar
1/2 tsp of salt
3 tsp of baking powder
375ml of coconut milk
125ml of vegetable oil
125g of unsalted butter,softened
2 tbsp of Greek yoghurt
1 tsp of vanilla extract
2 large eggs
400g of frozen raspeberries
Dessicated coconut
300g of raspberry jam
For the buttercream, you'll require:
600g of icing sugar,sifted
300g of unsalted or salted butter,softened
3 tbsp of crushed,freeze-dried raspberries
1 tsp of raspberry essence
2 drops of pink food gel.
♫No I don't need introduction, follow my simple instruction♫:
As always, Pre-heat an oven to 160C/180C Fan/Gas Mark 3, lining a tin with cupcake cases.
In a bowl of preferably a free-standing mixer(although I'm ordering my own one soon), add in the flour, baking powder, caster sugar and salt. Mix this on a low speed, for a couple of minutes to help everything combine together.
Eventually, add in the softened butter, allowing this to mix until it resembles a fine "sand-like" texture.
Next, add in the coconut milk, eggs, yoghurt,oil and vanilla extract in a large jug and mix for another 20 or so seconds.
Apply the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients in a slow and steady manner, until the dry ingredients are well combined.
Scrape around the bowl, prior to mixing for another 20 seconds.
Dash in 1 tbsp of frozen or fresh raspberries at the bottom of each cupcake cases before filling each cupcake case with mixer 3/4 of the way.
Bake these raspberry cupcakes for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow them to cool down completely, on a cooling rack, prior to icing.
To prepare the lovely raspberry buttercream, beat the butter in the bowl for 3 minutes until lighter and fluffy in texture and colour.
Subsequently, gradually add in the sifted icing sugar, beating until smooth.
After this, add the freeze-dried raspberries, raspberry essence(if you can get hold of any, otherwise skip this) and pink food gel and mix until merged together.
This step is very much optional- before icing, core out the centre of each cupcake before filling with raspberry jam(I personally would skip this step as it's a little too sickly).
Fit the icing into a piping bag as shown below and pipe the icing into a swirl.
Top of with grated coconut and volia!

So am I.π In my mind, after that crazy heatwave, Summer has never left. Even if it's like 14 degrees, in my mind, it's still Summer.π Thanks for your comment,by the way, Zania.π
