These were super good!
Cake
I mixed up a white cake mix, with 1 cup sweetened coconut blended up with the water. I also added 1 teaspoon coconut extract. I did everthing else according to the directions.
Lime Curd Filling
Mix together 5 egg yolks and 1 cup sugar. Whisk in 1 cup lime juice. Microwave for 1 minute then stir. Repeat until coats the back of a spoon. This took about 6 or 7 minutes for me. Then add 1/2 cup unsalted Margarine a tablespoon at a time, stirring each until melting. Refridgerate until cooled.
Frosting
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 pound bag powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1/4 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
Milk
Mix butter with a couple cups powdered sugar. Add flavorings. Gradually add the rest of the powdered sugar and milk to acheive the right consistancy.
Cupcakes
Hollow out a little hole in the cupcake, fill with lime curd. Don't use too much, it's really sour. Then frost. I topped them with a little toasted coconut. Enjoy!
