Key Lime Coconut Cupcakes with White Chocolate Frosting
Key Lime Coconut Cupcakes with White Chocolate Frosting Recipe
Having returned from another trip to Key West, I was inspired to make these Key Lime cupcakes. It may have had something to do with the fact that the recipe is based on amazing coconut cupcakes made by Ina Garten or maybe a little to do with the white chocolate frosting, but really, it was the bag of key limes I brought back with me. Key limes look like miniature limes, about the side of a quarter. They have a slightly sweeter taste than a regular lime and also produce more juice (although it still takes quite a bit of time to squeeze a quarter cup of juice). It’s definitely worth the time to make these cupcakes though, because they are delicious. The texture is perfect, the flavor is intense, and the white chocolate frosting is the perfect sweet topping. There is sour cream in the frosting, which sounds a little strange, but it really balances out the sweetness, so don’t omit it. All in all, it’s a winning combination.
