INGREDIENTS
  • 1 box devil's food cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • ? cup oil
  • ½ cup greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 cup milk (I used fat free half and half)
  • frosting
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ? cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract (or more to taste)
  • 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 3-4 cups powdered sugar
  • ? cup toasted coconut flakes (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:

 1-Preheat oven to 350 and place cupcake liners in muffin tins.

 2- Sift cake mix into a medium bowl and set aside. In a larger bowl mix together eggs, oil, greek yogurt (or sour cream), vanilla, coconut, and milk. Mix in cake mix until smooth. Fill each liner ¾ full. Bake 15-20 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

 3- For the frosting, beat butter until very light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Mix in cocoa powder, coconut, and 3 tablespoons heavy cream, mix until smooth. Mix in 3 cups powdered sugar. Add additional cream and/or powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached (*for piping you will want to double the frosting recipe and look for a slightly stiffer consistency). Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes if desired. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3-4 days. Enjoy!

This is garlic bread - on crack! Great to share with a crowd, or as a centre piece for dinner accompanied by a simple salad.

OVEN BAKED SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN

Image
My oven baked version of Sweet & Sour chicken which is not like most recipes you will find on the internet. My sauce uses less sugar so it's not overly sweet, the sauce ingredients has a few extra things in it so it really does taste more like restaurant Sweet & Sour sauce, and the chicken is only baked for 20 minutes so it does not dry out (but still lovely and crispy!). The ingredients list for this recipe is longer than most on my site - but it is well worth it!
