  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter for 2-3 minutes until pale in colour and creamy.
  • Slowly add sugar to the butter mixture, continually beating using the electric mixer.
  • Also add the eggs one at a time, beating for about a minute between each one.

  • Repeat with remaining flour and milk.
  • Spoon mixture into cupcake patties until 3/4 full.

  • Spread each cupcake with icing paste, then dip in coconut.
  • Enjoy!

Hints and Tips:

  • To test if the cupcake has been cooked, insert a skewer into the middle of the cupcake and if it comes out clean, it's cooked.
  • Transfer cupcakes to wire racks and allow to cool completely before adding topping.
  • For mini lamington cupcakes just use a mini muffin tray.
