  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  3. 3

    Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over very low heat. Once melted, turn off the heat, but leave oil in the pan on the stove, so that it stays warm but does not solidify.

    Add the flour mixture in batches, beating well after each addition. Mix until smooth, then fold in the shredded coconut.

    Fill cupcake liners two-thirds full. Bake for 24 to 26 minutes.

  7. 7

    Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

  8. 8

    Frost with Coconut-Pecan-Fudge Frosting.
