These cupcakes don't taste light at all. In fact, my guests are never satisfied with just one. The meringue-like tops make them different, but the chocolate and coconut make them memorable. Bernice Janowski of Stevens Point, Wisconsin Ingredients:
6 egg whites |
1-1/3 cups sugar, divided |
2/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup baking cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup flaked coconut |
Directions:
1. Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Combine 1 cup sugar, flour, cocoa and baking powder. Sift together twice; set aside.
2. Add the almond extract, cream of tartar and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form. Gradually fold in cocoa mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time. Gently fold in coconut.
3. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and top appears dry. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
