Recipe
Makes 24 cupcakes
Ingredients
Cupcakes
2 ½ cups (325 g) cake & pastry flour
1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar, divided (caster sugar)
1 Tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
½ tsp (2 mL) salt
1 Tbsp (15 mL) finely grated lemon zest
¾ cup (175 mL) buttermilk
1/3 cup (80 mL) vegetable oil
¼ cup (60 mL) lemon juice
2 large eggs, separated
1 ½ tsp (7 mL) vanilla extract
Frosting:
¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
4-6 cups (520 - 780 g) icing sugar, sifted
6 Tbsp (90 mL) coconut milk
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
½ tsp (2 mL) coconut extract
sweetened flaked coconut, or decorator’s sugar for décor
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C) and line 2 muffin tins with cupcake liners.
2. Sift the flour with 1 cup (200 g) of the sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the lemon zest.
3. In a separate bowl whisk the buttermilk, oil, lemon juice, egg yolks and vanilla. Whisk this into the dry mixture until well-blended and set aside while whipping the whites.
4. Using electric beaters or a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the egg whites until they are frothy and then gradually add the remaining ½ cup (100 g) of sugar while whipping, and continuing to whip until the beaters almost hold a soft peak when lifted (this will take about 3 minutes, and the whites will be very glossy). Fold the whites into the batter in 2 additions until evenly blended. Spoon the batter (using an ice cream scoop is easiest) into the prepared muffin tins and bake for 15-17 minutes until the cupcakes spring back in the centre when gently pressed (the cupcakes will not brown much). Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tins before frosting.
5. For the frosting, beat the butter and 2 cups (260 g) of the icing sugar with electric beaters or using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until blended. Add the coconut milk, vanilla and coconut extract and beat in. Add 2 more cups (260 g) of icing sugar, beat on low speed and then beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, adding more icing sugar as needed until the frosting holds its shape when the beaters are lifted (the variation in amount of icing sugar is due to how soft the butter is, and how warm and/or humid the weather is).
6. Spoon or pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes and sprinkle with coconut and/or decorator’s sugar. Do not refrigerate the cupcakes, if preparing ahead.
The cupcakes will keep, wrapped and unrefrigerated, for 2 days.

Good day Anna...blessings to u and ur family. Please stay safe during these trying times. I love ur channel and I have also baked several of ur recipes and no fails. I also love buttermilk I. So many recipes...not just my buttermilk biscuits or red velvet… take care...I think I am going to make these for my wife’s retirement party! Yup my lovely wife is throwing in the proverbial towel and leaving nursing behind. She worked 27 years for our local facility...that’s where I met my love. She’s the best part of me! Take care Anna!

Hi Anna I love your recipes, they never fail but I have a question: can I cut down on sugar in any dessert recipe? For instance if the recipe calls for 200gr of sugar can I add only 150gr?

Do you think I could use self-raising flour and omit the BP?

Just wondering, can I double or triple a cupcake recipe to turn it into a layer cake recipe? Is it the same apart from cooking times?

[@njcamocutie7085]

When you say cake and pastry flour what is that exactly? both mixed together? do you suggest using this for all cupcake making?

Hi. I would like to add a bit of desicated coconut to the mixture. How much would u recommend i add?

Wow, I love lemon and I love coconut cake; I’ve never tried them together tho. I’m gonna go get the ingredients, if the bloomin’ store has the goods. (no luck w/ tp here)

Hii Anna! I was wondering if you could help me! Here in my country we don't have bottle buttermilk... How should I replace that to make this recipe? Or how should I made buttermilk?

[@aysegulyldrm5498]

Muhteşem

[@MAAmer-dy7pw]

What the difference between cake flour/ and pastry & cake flour? Are they the same?

[@tammiemartinez6485]

Oooh, these look yummy. I have everything but the lemon zest (I do have two bags of lemon juice in the freezer with the zest though) and the coconut milk. Could I just use regular milk and use some of the zest I have frozen from my lemons that were once fresh? I never thought to put these two flavors together. One last question. I'm not a fan of AB. What other frosting would you recommend for these?

[@ohyum]

We would recommend substituting the coconut milk for another planet based milk if possible, especially soy as it most closely matches the creaminess of coconut milk. And yes, you can use your frozen zest, just make sure to thaw it before using it! I'm not exactly sure what you mean by AB. Can you be more clear?

[@arlandeetagaytayan4154]

Again cake and pastry flour and no explanation as to where to buy or if it is a combined flour. I contacted Sur La Table and William Sonoma and they have no idea what she may be referring to. I have asked this site 3 times and no answer. Ingredients are expensive and I want to make Anna's delicious recipes correctly but will refrain from doing so until I figure out the flour. These cake would be perfect for a baby shower.

[@ohyum]

Hi! Other members of the Oh Yum community answered your question in previous videos, which is why we didn't chime in. C&P flour is equal parts cake flour combined with equal parts pastry flour. You can but them separately and mix them or you can also find it in a single bag marked "cake and pastry flour". Thank you for watching, and have fun baking!

[@TheYaziman]

All-purpose flour combines hard and soft wheat with 10 to 12 percent of gluten content. All-purpose flour is available bleached, which creates a softer texture, as well as unbleached, which is what we recommend because it provides more structure in baked goods. You can bake just about anything with it: breads, biscuits, pizza dough, cookies, you name it. Cake flour is a soft wheat flour with 5 to 8 percent of protein content that is lower in protein and very finely ground. The flour produces cakes and other baked goods with a finer, softer texture than all-purpose flour. Pastry Flour: is also a soft wheat flour but with 8 to 9 percent of protein content which falls somewhere between all-purpose and cake flour in terms of protein content. To make 1cup of cake flour you need: 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour sifted with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch for each cup of cake flour. Bread flour is made entirely of hard wheat it is about 12 to 14 percent protein. It strengthens and brings structure to doughs and is best for yeast breads. The higher the level of gluten content in flour, yielding a chewier consistency the better it is for bread and pizzas. The lower the level of gluten content in flour the better it is for cakes.
