This is one of the MOST DELICIOUS cupcakes I have ever eaten. And I have eaten far too many cupcakes to count. The light, airy cupcake is decadently balanced by the rich, creamy coconut and pecan filling. This past summer, I interned for 100 hours with a dietitian in my hometown for one of my nutrition classes. I interned at a nursing home, and I was able to learn so much about gerontology and the diets of the elderly. So anyways, when my internship was coming to a close, I asked Ken (the dietitian) what his favorite desserts were, and the first thing he said was "German Chocolate Cake"! So I decided to turn it into a cupcake (way less messy and more share-able).
Well, he loved the cupcakes and so did everyone else! I am definitely filing this recipe away for my future cupcake making business. Also, in the photo above, is a mixture of milk (I used 2%) and lemon juice. Buttermilk is so expensive and usually goes to waste at my house, so I just decided to make my own. Much cheaper and better for me!
