Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of sweetener instead of sugar?

Yes, you can substitute the sugar with alternatives like coconut sugar, honey, or maple syrup. Keep in mind that this may affect the texture and sweetness level, so adjust accordingly.

How should I store leftover coconut cupcakes?

Store any leftover coconut cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months. Make sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.

What should I do if my cupcakes don't rise properly?

If your cupcakes don't rise, ensure that your oven is properly preheated before baking. Also, check if your ingredients, especially the egg, are fresh and at room temperature, which helps with rising. Lastly, avoid overmixing the batter, as this can lead to dense cupcakes.

They really aren't a cupcake but more of a custard tart which is why they don't get a leavening ingredient. I think it is Americans who have decided to call them a "cupcake"

Although not custard, you are right that are more of a tart then a cupcake, the author named it cupcakes but I will change that to tarts so everyone knows what to expect.

Maria, use to taste, I personally like to use sweet, but the end result will be very sweet, so if you don't want it as sweet, use unsweetened.

Why do these recipes not call for baking soda, or powder? I made the almond cupcakes and they were terrible. Just curious.
