At first sight you might think reduced might imply 'reduced fat, reduced calories, reduced sugar, etc.' Sorry but if only that were true. These cupcakes, though are absolutely delicious. My parents normally don't eat much of my baked goods; it's usually too sweet for them. They absolutely loved these cupcakes though. They're like a breath of fresh air (and coconut). I experimented making these cupcakes with a random zany method of separating the eggs and whipping the whites. If you don't have an electric mixer, then just beat the whole eggs. In my head, though, the whipping made the cupcakes much lighter. (: !

ReplyDeleteThese look great! I shall try these sometime =].
ReplyDeleteWhipping the egg whites probably does make the cake a bit lighter than not whipping them by themselves.
