I hate to do it to you, but I’m gonna do it anyway….I’m sharing what I’m calling my Mojito Cupcakes with you. I made these over the weekend and they were described by some as orgasmic. Not bad for a cupcake.
I used this recipe, but instead of adding coconut to the cream cheese icing, I added the zest of 1 lemon and 1 lime. The lemon-lime mixed perfectly with the coconut flavor and made it not too ‘coconutty’. The cake part was a little denser than your usual cupcake, but was super moist. I also doubled the frosting amount, because the original recipe just did not make enough in my opinion…especially since I like a more decoratively iced cupcake.
Overall, the effect was very refreshing and scrumptiously delicious! Make these when you want to impress or when you want to treat yourself.
I am wondering if there is a way to add rum to this recipe…
Well, it’s decided! That’s the next item on my list of things to do. Forget laundry, I want Mojito cupcakes!
OMG, no fare!!!!! Those look insanely yummy. Why is it cupcakes are so much better than a slice of cake sometimes???
These look so good. I am going to have to try. Thanks for sharing!

These sound and look delicious! My sister is a pastry chef and I keep begging her to make me a Mojito key lime pie. Maybe for my birthday… yum!
Sounds delicious!!
