My brother's birthday is today, so I made him some cupcakes (and a miniature cake) from this recipe, per his request to use chocolate, coconut, nuts and a seven-minute frosting. The cake recipe uses both cocoa powder and melted unsweetened chocolate, being mixed into the creamed butter and eggs below, to make an intense yet light cake:
And instead of making two final cupcakes I made use of my mini cake pans (about 4 inches across) to make a little celebration cake:
The cupcakes baked beautifully:
And once they were done I mixed up a seven-minute (or boiled) frosting. Here is the final step, vanilla being added to the beaten egg whites, sugar, water and cream of tartar:
The final product, topped with a little bit more coconut:
