Margarita Cupcake
- FOR THE COCONUT CUPCAKES:
- 1 box White Cake Mix, 18 Oz
- 1-1/3 cup Water, More Or Less As Directed Cake Mix Package
- 1/2 cups Vegetable Oil, More Or Less As Directed On Cake Mix Package
- 3 whole Eggs, More Or Less As Directed On Cake Mix
- 1 cup Coconut
- _____
- FOR THE LIME FILLING:
- 1 box Vanilla Instant Pudding, 4 Oz
- 1/2 cups Whipping Cream
- 1/4 cups Lime Juice
- 4 drops Green Food Coloring
- 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
- _____
- FOR THE WHITE CHOCOLATE AND LIME ICING:
- 5 ounces, weight White Chocolate, Melted
- 1 stick Butter, Softened
- 3-1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1/8 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
- 1/4 cups Sour Cream
- For the Cupcakes:
- Prepare as the box directs, and then add 1 cup of shredded coconut to the batter before pouring it into muffin tins. I fill cups with a 1/4 cup measuring cup, and this usually fills about 18 cups.
- For the Lime Filling
- Pour the box of pudding mix into a bowl, add whipping cream and beat for 2 minutes. Let stand for 3 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, and place in fridge to chill.
- Hollow a cone out of the top of each cupcake, and add filling inside. Replace cupcake 'lid' back over the filling.
- *I found this recipe for this filling from Tasty Kitchen contributer, Hoosier Homemade
- For the White Chocolate and Lime Icing
- Melt chocolate (using the microwave, in 30 minute bursts, stirring between each burst to make sure the chocolate doesn't burn), and set it aside to cool a little.
- While chocolate is cooling, mix the rest of the ingredients. Add chocolate until just combined.
- Ice cupcakes and garnish with lime slices, sprinkles, etc.
- This is really a very easy cupcake to put together, I just tagged it as intermediate because there are several steps, and the melted chocolate in the icing requires a bit more concentration, a bit...
