- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 pinch salt

- 1 tbsp grated tangerine zest
- 1/2 cup tangerine juice
- 5 extra tangerines for decorating
- 2 eggs
- 3 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- 2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 3 tbsp sugar
- Preheat oven to 350F and grease and line muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
- Beat the butter, sugar, and tangerine zest until fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating until well combined.
- Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture to the egg/sugar mixture and beat until combined.
- Add about 1/3 of the tangerine juice and beat until combined.
- Repeat until all of the flour and juice has been adding in.
- Pour batter into cupcake liners and bake 25-30 minutes.
- A toothpick should come out clean.
- Let muffins cool.
- Ok honestly, I really struggled with the frosting.
- I envisioned a marshmallow flavored frosting that would be stiff enough to pipe out of an icing bag and then I planned on making a little icing tower and dipping it in coconut flakes.
- But I failed haha.
- Mine was a thick but liquid frosting and I messed with it for a long time and eventually gave up so I think this is what I did after all the experimenting.
- If I were to try again though, I would probably try beating whipping cream and sugar and adding in marshmallow fluff.
- Melt marshmallows and a little whipping cream in a saucepan.
- Remove from heat once it's liquid and beat with another cup or so of whipping cream and additional sugar.
- I beat it for like 20 minutes and then left it in my fridge covered over night.
- The next day, I stirred the frosting and put it on the cupcakes.
- Wait about 30 seconds until frosting stops dripping and then dunk frosting side down into a plate of coconut flakes.
- Let them sit for a few minutes.
- Add a sprinkle more of coconut flakes to each one.
- Decorate with tangerine slices and rind spirals.
