White Mountain Coconut Cupcakes
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
11/4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut milk
Frosting:
11/4 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup water
3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
Preparation
1. Make cupcakes: Position rack in center oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Line 12 muffin tin openings with paper liners.
2. Sift together cake flour, baking powder and salt.
3. In bowl of an electric mixer, using paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until smoothly blended, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and continue beating until color lightens slightly, about 1 minute. Mix in half of flour mixture, then coconut milk. Finally, mix in remaining flour mixture.
4. Fill each paper liner with a scant 1/4 cup of batter to about 1/2" below top of liner. Bake about 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cupcakes for 10 minutes in pan set on a wire rack. Invert cupcakes onto wire rack to cool completely.
5. Make frosting: Put sugar, water, egg whites and cream of tartar in top of double boiler. Using hand-held electric mixer beat on high speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Place pot over simmering water and beat on high speed until frosting holds firm peaks, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat, add vanilla and almond extract and continue beating for 2 additional minutes to further thicken frosting.
6. Use an icing spatula to spread frosting over top of each cupcake, dipping the spatula gently into the frosting to make swirls. Sprinkle coconut thickly over frosting.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.
How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.
If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
