Bake rich chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing and coconut flakes. For an even more intense flavor and color, choose alkalized cocoa.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a large metal muffin pan with paper liners to hold 12 large muffins.
  2. Place the butter, coffee, water, and cocoa powder in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for about 2 minutes, until the butter has melted. Stir to combine.

  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg, and vanilla. Fold the hot chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients. Fold in the sour cream mixture; do not beat. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full (about 2/3 cup batter per cupcake). Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  4. Cool the cupcakes completely in the pans on a wire rack. Remove them from the paper liners and return them to the rack.
  5. Glaze: Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring the coconut milk and corn syrup to a boil, stirring constantly, then pour over the chocolate. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then stir until smooth. Spread 1 tablespoon of the warm glaze evenly over each cupcake and sprinkle with coconut flakes.
