I kind of feel like the name "Fluffy Coconut Cake" is a misnomer because there is not one bit of coconut in this cake! It is just a basic cake that is topped with coconut cream cheese frosting. Nevertheless, these cupcakes were delicious... and I think the real star of this recipe is the coconut cream cheese frosting. The guava filling was interesting and paired well with the coconut, but I think the cupcakes were good without any filling at all, too. If you're looking for a recipe to use up all those extra egg whites you have in your freezer (like I always do after making ice cream!), this is a great one to make.
Thank you, Karen, for hosting this week. If you'd like the recipe, you can find it here. Make sure you check out the Sweet Melissa Sundays Blog Roll to see how everyone else enjoyed this coconut-y treat!
* Recipe notes:
- I made a full recipe and was able to make 34 cupcakes from it.
- I baked my cupcakes for about 18-19 minutes before they were done.
Guava filling sounds great. I grew up in Hawaii, so that reminds me of the guava cake I loved so much there.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cupcakes Jaime! I almost went with cupcakes but decided to do a mini layer cake instead. I couldn't find passion fruit juice either so I went with limes, but the guava option sounds great too! I agree, this is a wonderful cake recipe for leftover egg whites.
ReplyDeleteWow these look great! I think the cupcake idea was good. That cake sound would have been good, but a lot of cake!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks soo good! How can you wrong with coconut? :)
ReplyDeleteYum! Guava filling is totally intriguing me and the frosting sounds absolutely awesome!!

They look delicious and I loved this too. I think your right there is not one bit of coconut in that cake. And yes, the frosting was the hit!
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks delicious. I love anything with coconut!
ReplyDeleteGuave filling sounds delicious! Thanks for baking along with me this week.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! That filling looks so good! This recipe should really be called "classic white cake with coconut cream frosting" or something.
ReplyDeleteI considered guava too when I was having difficulty finding the passion fruit. Your cupcakes look delicious. Love the photo!
ReplyDeleteMmm interesting combination...I really LOVE guava and cream cheese (is a traditional dessert here) but I never thought of cupcakes! Everythign is better in cupcakes ;)
