Mini Coconut Pound Cakes are perfectly sized bites of coconut heaven. These cakes are sturdy enough not to fall apart when you bite into them, while still tender and fluffy enough to have the perfect crumb. They are sweet but not overly sweet, with just the right amount of coconut flavor in every bite.

These miniature cakes were inspired by the AMAZING coconut pound cake that I made last year. My favorite part of the cake is the chewy coconut crust. So, naturally, I wanted more of the crust for each serving. Enter the individual cupcakes. Crunchy, chewy coconut tops each individual pound cake. The sides of each cake form a slightly crunchy crust inside the liners. I adore everything about these cakes.

Whether I’m snacking on them throughout the day or serving them as dessert with fruit and a scoop of ice cream, I can not get enough of these mini pound cakes!

Mini Coconut Pound Cakes

Servings: 18 servings

Ingredients

Cake Ingredients:
1 cup butter room temperature
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons coconut extract
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup milk
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour *
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup shredded coconut
Topping:
1/2 cup shredded coconut
* Gluten Free Alternative:
1 1/2 cups brown rice flour
2/3 cup tapioca starch
1/3 cup potato starch
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven. Line muffin tins with 18 paper cupcake liners. Beat the butter and sugars together, on medium speed, until fluffy crumbs form. Add the eggs, vanilla, and coconut extract, beat again until smooth. Add the milk, beat on low speed to combine. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat again, just until combined. Stir in the coconut.
Divide the batter into the prepared muffin tins. Sprinkle the tops generously with coconut. Bake for 65-70 minutes, until golden on top and light brown on the edges. Let the cakes cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Gently lift the partially cooled cakes out of the muffin tin and let them finish cooling on a wire rack. Store at room temperature, loosely covered, preferably not airtight. The cakes will keep nicely and stay very moist for 3-4 days. Enjoy!
