How should I store leftover custard yogurt cakes?

What size muffin tin should I use for this recipe?

Use a standard 12-cup muffin tin for this recipe. If you have mini muffin tins, adjust the baking time to about 10-15 minutes.

What can I do if my cakes don’t rise properly?

If your cakes don’t rise, ensure that your self-raising flour is fresh and that you didn't overmix the batter. Properly creaming the butter and sugar is also crucial for aeration.

Tips:

- Make sure to use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and consistency.

- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

- Gently fold the coconut meat into the batter to maintain the texture and avoid over-mixing.

- Use an electric mixer to ensure the butter and sugar are well-creamed, which will result in a lighter cake.

- Line your baking tin with parchment paper for easy removal of the cakes after baking.

- If you prefer a less sweet cake, you can reduce the amount of sugar or powdered sugar used in the recipe.
