Lime and coconut is one of our favourite taste combinations. Zesty Lime with sweet coconut just make us feel that summer is here. Adding lime curd to the middle of these Vegan Coconut and Lime Cupcakes makes these extra delicious, but beware, once you’ve add the curd they need to be eaten straight away. If you’re not going to have the batch attacked by a hungry hoard then store the cupcake in an airtight tin, store the curd in the fridge, and assemble as you go.
If you want to go wild; top the cupcakes with Vegan Buttercream Frosting!
