Ingredients

1 cup (80g / 2.8oz) grated coconut2 large eggs (100g / 3.5oz)1/2 cup (100g / 3.5oz) sugar6 crystallized cherries6 paper cups

Equipment:

Food processorCupcake trayMeasuring cupsKitchen scale

Directions

Preheat the oven to 180ºC or 350ºF.
In a food processor, add the coconut, eggs, and sugar. Blend until the mixture is uniform and the coconut is well-incorporated into the eggs.
Line the paper cups on a cupcake tray and pour the batter into the cups. Fill them almost to the top, as these do not rise like traditional sponge cakes.
Decorate each center with a crystallized cherry. Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Unmold and serve warm for a soft texture, or cold for a firmer, macaroon-like bite.
