Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
2 tbsp coconut milk
30g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 eggs
100g
2 cups powdered sugar
320g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the 2 cups of self-raising flour and 3/4 cup of sugar.
- Add the 1/2 cup of softened butter. Using an electric mixer, beat until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Incorporate the 2 eggs, beating them in one at a time until fully combined.
- Mix in the 2 tablespoons of coconut milk and 1/4 cup of passionfruit pulp until the batter is smooth.
3. Bake the Cupcakes:
- Spoon the batter evenly into the lined muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Prepare the Frosting:
- In a medium-sized bowl, sift the 2 cups of powdered sugar.
- Add the 1/4 cup of softened butter, and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gradually blend in the 2 tablespoons of coconut milk and 2 tablespoons of passionfruit pulp until the frosting reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency.

5. Frost the Cupcakes:
- Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, use a piping bag or a knife to frost each cupcake with the passionfruit and coconut cream frosting.
- For an extra touch, you can sprinkle shredded coconut and drizzle additional passionfruit pulp on top.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Your passionfruit and coconut cream cupcakes are now ready to be served! Enjoy these delightful treats with family and friends.

Tips:

- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start to ensure even mixing.

- For a stronger coconut flavor, consider adding a bit of coconut extract in addition to the coconut milk.

- Use fresh passionfruit pulp for the most vibrant flavor. If fresh passionfruit is not available, canned passionfruit pulp can be a good substitute.

- Don't overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cupcakes light and fluffy.

- Check the cupcakes a few minutes before the recommended bake time with a toothpick; every oven is different.

- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to ensure the frosting doesn't melt.

Your Passionfruit and Coconut Cream Cupcakes are now ready to enjoy! These cupcakes offer a wonderful blend of tropical flavors that are both refreshing and decadent. Whether you're serving them at a special event or just as a sweet treat at home, they're sure to be a hit.
