After scarfing down a dozen of Sprinkles Cupcakes©, I narrowed it down and decided their Coconut Cupcake was my favorite. In reaction to this, of course, I came home and experimented towards the re-creation.

I am using a Duncan Hines® Moist Deluxe® Classic Yellow Cupcakes cake mix. Preheat to 350℉. To bake the normal cake you need 1/2 Cup Water, 3 Tbsp Vegetable Oil, & 2 Large Eggs. To add the inspirational Coconut taste into the cupcake, I used 2 Tbsp of Bagged Coconut to give it that Hawaiian flavor. (If you have coconut flavoring or extract, I would use 1 Tbsp). Fill the baking cups 2/3. I found the cute cups I used from http://www.bakeitpretty.com

Bake for 20-23 MIN.




For my cupcakes I used a decorating frosting, but you can also use a simple buttercream frosting adding 2 Tbsp of of coconut or 1 Tbsp of flavoring.

Then you can sprinkle coconut on top!
(these cupcakes are best on the day they are made)
