Perfect cupcakes to add to your lunch box. Very buttery with a yummy coconut and walnut topping. These never last more than an hour when I take them for my husbands co-workers. They are great served warm or cool.
I thought this was such an awsome recipe! The flavors are all very wonderful together. I followed this recipe to a T except I used almonds instead of walnuts that's all I had, and I cooked mine in a silicone muffin pan. I had a tough time figuring out the broiling part with mine, but they still turned out great. All in all my family and I loved it! My 4 year old asked for it to be his birthday cake for his next bday! Great Recipe!

These cupcakes were so good and easy to make! I didn't make the coconut topping because I don't like coconut but they were just as good with regular frosting from the store. These were much better than the store bought boxed cupcakes. I will definitely make these again.
Yum! Yum! Yum!! Made these for my best friend's Bridal Shower that I both catered and hosted. She wanted to do cupcake decorating, and her bridal colors are Pink and Black. I tested this recipe the week before the party, and FELL in LOVE with it. Didn't even bother with the coconut topping, just made the cupcakes and they were DELICIOUS! I added red food die to make them pink, and EVERYONE loved them. By far the best vanilla cupcakes I have ever had!

My 14-year-old daughter, who LOVES to bake, found this recipe (she was looking for a recipe with coconut, because we had so much left over from the holidays), and it was a HIT! I am not really a fan of sweets, but I always "taste" what she makes, because she really is a great baker ... and I am telling you that these cupcakes are my favorite ... they are DELICIOUS! She followed the recipe to the "T" (she generally does), except she omitted the walnuts, because she has a nut allergy. She has made them twice, and they came out PERFECT both times!
These were only ok for me. I did halve the recipe as it was just for my husband & I and we don't need to have 12 cupcakes around :) but I did it exactly in half (the site calculates it for you) and they turned out rather dry. I felt more like I was eating a muffin than a cupcake. The topping was interesting but again seemed like a muffin topping instead of a frosting. You do have to be careful with the broiling- I did not spread to the edges as directed, thinking it would spread itself under the heat, but it did not, and a few did turn dark in that area, so I would advice spreading it out to cover the whole thing.
I must say I was looking for a good buttery cupcake more than a sugary topping. I just made the cake. Maybe with sugary topping, but it does not stand on it's own.
I made these today and I am not sure about the broiler part - I didn't "spread" the coconut topping part to the edges, like the recipe said, and the broiler burned the outer edges (where the coconut wasn't covering the cupcake part) after 1 minute. We were able to salvage them, but they weren't pretty. STILL A GREAT TASTE THOUGH.
Very good. I adjusted a bit because I wanted to use more coconut in the cupcakes themselves, and I didn't really have the time to make the frosting--plus, I already had leftover frosting in the fridge. So, I used the cup of coconut in the cupcakes, frosted with whipped cream cheese frosting, and then topped with chocolate sprinkles and some coconut. Husband loved them, as did coworkers. Thanks for the recipe!
I made these cupcakes but haven't tried them yet- but by the looks of them..... MAKE SURE U PUT VERY LITTLE BATTER IN- IT RISES ALOT
I just made the cupcakes from this recipe (not the frosting) and they were delicious. Excellent consistency and flavor. I will definitely make this again for any vanilla cupcakes. Easy to make too.
