 Red Velvet Cupcakes

• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups of sugar (375 ml)
• 1 1/2 cups canola oil (375 ml)
• 1 cup of plain yogurt (250 ml)
• 2 tablespoons red food coloring (30 ml)
• 1 teaspoon vinegar (5 ml)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
• 2 1/2 cups of flour (625 ml)
• 1 tablespoon cocoa (15 ml)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (5 ml)
• 1 teaspoon salt (5 ml) 

                    Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

In a food processor, mix the eggs with the sugar, oil, yoghurt, food coloring, vinegar and vanilla. Add flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. 
 
 Blend until just incorporated. 
 
 Place cupcake papers into a muffin pan, divide the batter in the cupcake papers, pour only halfway so batter doesn’t overflow, and bake, rotating half way through, for 25 to 30 minutes. 
 
Remove and let cool.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting


• 8 ounces cream cheese, cold
• 5 tablespoons softened butter
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• (scant) two cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh strawberry purée
 Using a hand mixer, beat the top three ingredients together until well combined.  Gradually add the powdered sugar as you continue beating the mixture.  Lastly, stir in the strawberry purée. 

Baking My Way: Coconut Diamond Gems

 Marshall helped me make these cookies, which is rare so I enjoyed baking these more then usual. They're quiet similar to Mounds bars but just a little simpler. I'd say I'd rather make a full base bar with a full coconut and chocolate layer. I found these a little dry but still tasty.

Cookies:
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt

Topping:
2 cup coconut
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 egg white
1 tbsp water
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Glaze:
3 oz. chocolate
1 tsp shortening

Cookies:
Combine sugar, butter and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy. Add yolk and beat well. Add flour, cinnamon and salt; mix well.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour or until firm.

Heat oven to 375. Lightly dust a large cookie sheet with flour. On the cookie sheet spread out the dough. Score dough crosswise in 1 1/2 inch wide strips and then do it in the other direction as well to make diamond shapes.

Topping:
Mix all topping ingredients. Scope 1 teaspoon onto each diamond. 

Bake for 8-11 minutes or until golden brown. Cut cookies along scorch marks and remove diamonds from cookie sheet to cool.

Glaze:
In a saucepan, over low heat, melt chocolate and shortening, stirring constantly. Drizzle over cookies.
