WARNING: Not suitable for messy children (or a lady-child like me) if you desire a clean floor and furniture! These babies are crumbly to the max!
CHOC-COCONUT CUPCAKES
Beat together 1/2 block butter and 1 cup caster sugar.
Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of coconut essence.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 and 1/4 cups self-raising flour, 1/4 cup cocoa and 1 cup dessicated coconut.
Alternate the addition of the flour mixture with approximately 1 cup of cream.
Gradually add the cream until you get the consistency of chocolate mousse.
You may not need all the cream.

It's not worth licking the batter - it's got that bitter baking powder taste. Believe me, I tried it. |
Bake at 160 C for about 20 minutes.
Once cool, get to work on the easy-peasy icing!
Beat together 1/2 block soft butter with 1 cup of icing sugar and 2 tablespoons cocoa.
Spread your cupcakes with the icing and finish with a sprinkling of coconut.
Be prepared for the delicious crumbly mess! Having a small animal underneath you helps too.
