Gracias, Christina! About the German Chocolate…if you are making an 8-inch cake, then probably try about 1/3 of the recipe of coconut cupcake frosting to just frost a thin coat around outside of the cake.

We call cupcakes “mantecadas” in Spanish / Mexico. Also I want to make your German Chocolate cake but don’t want to make too much frosting since I’m not making cupcakes. What do you suggest?

audrey- I often do halve eggs when I’m making half recipes, and I probably did that here. I just crack one into a small bowl, beat it gently and pour out half for the recipe. The other half will keep just fine overnight and can be added to scrambled eggs the next morning, or used for eggwash, etc. If you don’t want to be bothered, common advice is that rounding up is OK.

hiya, looks like you had great success halving this recipe. do you remember how many eggs you used since the recipe calls for 3?

thanks!

Julia–Definitely make cupcakes for your class…they will love you for it! The Sydney Uni classes are pretty good. I really hope to not sound mean, but with any foreign language classes I’ve taken, there are always a few people who will just never get it, and there’s no exception here. I’ve taken levels 2 and 3 and had the same teacher for both. She’s quite good, will give me extra stuff to do and am thinking of taking level 4 in Oct (which she is also teaching) as well.

How funny! I do Spanish at Eastern Suburbs Community College (thinking of going to Sydney Uni for the next level – do you recommend it?) and was thinking of bringing in cupcakes for our last class since I outed myself as the class foodie. I think you’ve extra-inspired me!

Oh a household favorite. My husband absolutely loves Ina’s coconut cupcakes. In fact I am making them tomorrow for him.

Everyone raves about this recipe. For heaven sakes they have it as a boxed mix for people. I am still avoiding it until it makes me give in.
