How to Make These Delicious Cupcakes:

Instructions

To make these crowd-pleasing cupcakes, simply follow these steps:

First, prepare the cupcakes.
Set a cupcake pan with paper liners and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt in a large mixing basin.
Add the vanilla essence, vegetable oil, warm water, buttermilk, and egg. Blend until the batter is fully blended and smooth.
Fill the cupcake liners roughly two-thirds of the way to the top with the batter, which has been divided evenly.
A toothpick put into the center of a cupcake should come out clean after 18 to 22 minutes of baking. Before icing, let the cupcakes cool fully.

2. Prepare the Pecan-Coconut Frosting
Put the egg yolks, butter, granulated sugar, and evaporated milk in a medium saucepan. Stir continuously while cooking over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
Take off the heat and mix in the chopped pecans, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Before putting the frosting on the cupcakes, allow it to come to room temperature.

3. Put the cupcakes together.
When the cupcakes are cool, cover each one with a large amount of frosting. Make sure to coat them thoroughly with the luscious coconut-pecan blend.
You can add flare by garnishing with a pecan half or drizzling melted chocolate over the icing.
Success Advice
Make use of premium cocoa powder: The richness of the chocolate flavor is enhanced with excellent cocoa powder.
Let cupcakes cool fully: To avoid the frosting melting into the cake, let the cupcakes cool before applying the icing.
Properly store leftovers: To preserve their freshness, store the cupcakes in an airtight container for up to three days.
