    Coconut-Lime Margarita Cake

    This Coconut-Lime Margarita Cake is sure to be a summer favorite! Infused with coconut milk, lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur, it tastes like a margarita on the beach.

    If you love the bright, luscious flavors of a coconut-lime margarita, then put this cake on your summer bucket list! It has tropical flavor that will practically transport you to a sunny destination. A shot of tequila and triple sec impart cocktail flavors without adding too much of a tongue-tingle. However, if you like that sort of thing, then there’s the option to add more spirits at your discretion.

    High sugar ratio batter.
    First, mix up the cake batter. It’s flavored with coconut milk and lime juice, which makes the end result totally delicious. Line the pans with parchment because these cakes have a high ratio of sugar, and they are prone to stick. Even with a generous coat of flour-based baking spray, they will cling. So, line those pans! Sugar promotes browning, so don’t be surprised if the top is brown halfway through bake time. This is normal. A deep brown crust gives the cakes structure for the next step in the recipe.

    We’ve got spirit(s)!
    After the cakes are baked, poke holes in them using a skewer and spread on the most decadent glaze. It’s made with plain yogurt, coconut milk, lime juice and zest, tequila, triple sec, and flake coconut. This gives the cakes an almost wet texture inside. The creaminess of the yogurt and coconut milk tempers any acidity, and just lets that beautiful lime flavor shine. After you mix up the glaze, give it a taste test. Dial up the alcohol content to your liking. Or, you can omit it completely for a alcohol-free cake. This cake will still taste amazing.
    After one side of the cakes saturate, flip them over and repeat the process of poking holes and glazing.

    Refrigerate the cakes until they are totally cooled and the glaze is set. You’ll have all kinds of coconut strands sticking to all sides of the cake, and that’s a good thing. I worried that it might make the cake difficult to frost, but everything went on pretty smoothly! This cake is frosted with lime buttercream tinted with Chefmaster neon green food color.

    Apply a thick layer of buttercream.
    Apply the buttercream a bit thicker than usual. I didn’t do a thin crumb coat, because I didn’t want to pull all of the coconut off the sides of the cake. You should have plenty of frosting to accommodate a nice thick layer all around. You can see the frosting technique in action in the video at the bottom of this blog post.

    Ever notice how Swedish pearl sugar and margarita salt look alike? They do! This sugar really is the perfect garnish for this cake. It adds just a little more sweetness and crunch to the party. I love it.

    Finishing touches.
    Reserved white buttercream (also lime flavored) is piped on top in big triple swirls and topped with more Swedish pearl sugar, and some flake coconut.

    These dried coconut chips are so beautiful with the small stripe of edible rind. I couldn’t stay out of them, and snacked on them as I applied the frosting. They make a striking garnish alongside some lime wheels on top of this cake.

    If I must be picky (I am) I have one complaint. It’s that this cake doesn’t slice as neatly as some other cakes. The flake coconut adds so much flavor and texture, but it drags through the crumb a little (like most coconut cakes do). Therefore slices may look a little ragged. But that doesn’t really matter. The flavor and texture are what people will notice! I can’t wait to share it at our next warm weather potluck or BBQ.

    Coconut-Lime Margarita Cake

    Heather Baird

    This cocktail-inspired cake tastes like a tropical vacation! The coconut-lime-tequila glaze gives this cake margarita flavor and a wet texture inside. Serve it at room temperature, or chilled on a hot day.This recipe uses unsweet full fat canned coconut milk. One 13.5 oz. can will give you more than the 1 ¼ cups needed for the cake batter and glaze. Freshly squeezed limes are preferred for the lime juice in this recipe, but bottled lime juice can also be used. My batch of limes were extremely dry inside, so I had to resort to bottled juice. Use Nellie and Joe’s Key West Lime juice, if you ca find it, or ReaLime which is widely available.This recipe yields a little more than 6 cups of cake batter.

    Instructions For the cakesPreheat the oven to 350F.Grease three 6-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. see notes for 9-inch pans.In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Add lime juice and mix until combined.In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk to combine.Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with the coconut milk. Begin and end with flour.Divide the batter evenly between the pans, about 2 cups per pan. Smooth evenly into the pans. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick tester inserted near the center comes out clean. This cake has high sugar content and will brown quickly. Cover cakes with foil the last 15 minutes of baking if cakes begin to overbrown.Let cakes cool in the pans 5 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks. Cool 10 more minutes. Cakes should still be slightly warm. Cover a large sheet pan with aluminum foil and transfer the cakes to the pan.GlazeIn a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, coconut milk, flake coconut, tequila and triple sec. Whisk together until well combined, about 5 minutes. Taste-test the glaze and adjust the spirits to your liking.Poke holes all over the surface of the cakes and spread on half of the glaze. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes. Flip cakes and poke holes in the other side; spread on the remaining glaze. Let stand 10 minutes at room temperature, then cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate until the cakes are completely cooled, about 1 hour.ButtercreamIn the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whip attachment, beat together the butter and confectioners’ sugar. Add the lime juice. Beat in milk or cream a little at a time until the mixture comes to spreading consistency. Beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, and almost white in color, about 5 minutes.Remove 1 cup of the white frosting to a piping bag fitted with the large closed star tip. Set aside.Tint the remaining frosting with the neon green food color. Add color a little at a time until a vibrant green hue is achieved.AssemblyPlace a cake layer on a serving plate or cake board. Cakes will have coconut sticking to all sides – just leave this on the cake. Top the cake layer with ¼ inch lime green frosting. Top with the second cake layer and top with another ¼ inch of lime green frosting. Top with the remaining cake and apply a thick layer of frosting to the outside and top of the cake. Smooth the frosting using a cake smoother or bench scraper.Immediately after frosting, press Swedish pearl sugar onto the top edge of the cake. Scoop excess pearl sugar up and press against the bottom edge of the cake.Using the reserved piping bag of white buttercream, pipe six large swirls on the top edge of the cake. Immediately sprinkle on more pearl sugar. Place a lime wheel between each buttercream swirl. Sprinkle coconut chips over the top of the cake to finish.Serve cake at room temperature or chilled. Because of the cake’s wet texture, it’s great both ways!
    NotesWhat to expect: This cake is loaded with coconut lime flavor. It has a wet interior due to the glaze that saturates into the crumb. The glaze has a shot of tequila and triple sec, which adds margarita flavor without giving it an overly boozy note. Add more liquor to taste, if you prefer a more pronounced tequila flavor.
    This cake has high sugar content, which means it will form a deep brown crust during baking. This is normal, and helps the cake hold together after being poked full of holes and drenched with glaze.
    If using 9-inch round cake pans, decrease bake time to 28-30 minutes.
    Liquors can be omitted for a non-alcoholic version and the cake will still be totally delicious!

    A Vegetarian Farmers Market Brunch for HGTV.com

    Throw The Ultimate Vegetarian Farmers Market Brunch! Turn your veggie haul into the season’s best brunch dishes.
    Spring Vegetable Frittata
    A few weeks ago, I loaded up my car with all the spring produce to make (and shoot!) A Vegetarian Farmers Market Brunch for HGTV.com. The scene was just perfect all around with temperate, sunny weather and big teakwood table on which to display all of our dishes.
    I’ve developed four delicious brunch recipes – both savory and sweet – along with instructions for an all-inclusive spring cheese board. I’m including some teasers and links in this post, but you can view the entire gallery right here.

    Fresh and Savory.
    Spring vegetable frittata (lead image) is such an easy main dish to make, and incredibly versatile. Take full advantage of all the tender new asparagus at the market, and don’t be afraid to pivot the ingredients as we move into summer months. Serve it with my Arugula Salad with Homemade Orange Poppy Seed Dressing.

    Roasted New Potatoes with Spring Herbs is another side dish I developed to perfectly compliment the frittata. It’s hearty and filling, yet light with a citrusy note. Serve the potatoes over a bed of spring greens for additional herbaceous flavor.

    Okay, this cheese board –swoon. It’s got a lot going on, and all of it is wonderful! The Ultimate Vegetarian Cheese Board ‘recipe’ is more of a guide for selecting spring cheeses. (Did you know cheese can be seasonal?). With it, we’ve added lots of other ingredients, such as comb honey, candied nuts, preserves, and lots of crunchy spring veggies for dipping.

    Here we’ve made a slightly smaller version of the cheese board to fit on a tabletop! A platter works well in place of a large serving board.

    The sweet stuff!
    What’s brunch without pastries? These Strawberry-Rhubarb Scones take advantage of rhubarb’s short season, and have buttermilk tang. I usually find scones to be quite dry, but these have a tender, moist crumb. My recommendation? Split one while warm and slather in butter!

    Lemon and blueberries together? You just can’t go wrong! Especially if those flavors are wrapped up in sweet yeast dough and baked farmhouse-style in a cast iron skillet. Get the Cast Iron Lemon-Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls right here. (Side note, developing this recipe inspired me to create these strawberry sweet rolls!)

    Special thanks to my colleagues (and friends!), a.k.a. the team that made this happen! HGTV editor and stylist Camille Smith, (Get her Strawberry Shrub recipe right here) stylist and art director Jill Tennant, and stylist and crafter Ann Nelson.

    Buttered Popcorn Cupcakes

    Make Movie Night even more fun with Buttered Popcorn Cupcakes! Buttery yellow cupcakes are topped with popcorn-flavored Swiss meringue buttercream and garnished with crunchy theater-style popcorn.

    I’ve always loved experimenting with the flavor of popcorn in my sweets and baked goods. Back in 2014, when I was writing Sea Salt Sweet, I developed a silky, salty-sweet Buttered Popcorn Panna Cotta (page 147, for those that have it). Corn is sweet by nature, and already holds buttery notes. I think the flavor works remarkably well in desserts.
    Today I’m adding another to the recipe index: Buttered Popcorn Cupcakes. They have true butter popcorn flavor, in a Willy Wonka’s Candy Factory kind of way. Or if you’re a fan of Jelly Belly’s Buttered Popcorn Jelly Beans? Well then. These are the cupcake version!

    The flavor makers.
    Start with my butter yellow cupcake recipe as the base for this confection. Cream together butter, sugar, and eggs, then add in the magic ingredient: Buttered Popcorn Flavoring Oil. Fat is an excellent carrier of flavor, so mixing it in at this stage with the butter ensures it will disperse well throughout the batter.

    Add the dry ingredients and mix well until a thick pale yellow batter forms. Then scoop the batter into the cavities of a lined cupcake pan. This recipe makes exactly 12 cupcakes.

    This step is optional, but I couldn’t help myself. I lightly brushed the top of each cupcake with melted salted butter. This just creates another layer of buttery flavor.

    The right buttercream for the job.
    Swiss meringue buttercream is the perfect choice for these cakes, and I’ll tell you why. It does not crust like American buttercream does. When a frosting ‘crusts’ it means the outer layer sets and becomes un-sticky. The popcorn garnish needs to be added just before serving so it’s nice and crunchy. Frost these cupcakes well ahead of time with the Swiss buttercream, and the frosting will keep its freshly piped texture. Well enough to hold on the popcorn just before you serve them to guests.

    Pop your own corn, if you’d like. But the color and flavor of this prepackaged Brim’s ‘Movie Theater Butter” popcorn is a ringer for the real thing! I love it, and it’s made right here in Tennessee, too!

    Pipe a big double swirl of buttercream on top of each cake and top with a handful of popcorn. I used a large open star pastry tip, which is Ateco 828.

    You can find the super-cute ‘TICKET’ cupcake wrappers right here, and the red and white stripe cups here.

    Adventurous eaters and fans of Jelly Belly’s Buttered Popcorn Jellybeans will love these cupcakes! They’re perfect for family movie night. Or bookmark this recipe for next year’s Oscars viewing at home.
    Check out my (award-winning!) Olive Oil Jalapeno Cornmeal Cake with Candied Citrus, if you’re just dipping a toe in to experimenting with corn flavor in desserts. It’s a good gateway to popcorn in desserts, and a wonderful ending to any meal.

    Buttered Popcorn Cupcakes

    Heather Baird

    Amaze your friends with the true flavor of buttered popcorn in cake form! Buttered Popcorn Cupcakes are delicious buttery treats that are perfect for the big game or family movie night. Please note, the Swiss meringue buttercream uses salted butter in this recipe, to convey the flavor of salty buttered popcorn. You may have buttercream left over if you don’t pipe a big double swirl as pictured. You may opt to halve the buttercream recipe if you plan for a more modest amount of frosting.

    Instructions Yellow butter cupcakesPreheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cupcake pan with 12 paper liners.In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar and medium speed until fluffy and lightened in color. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the buttered popcorn flavor. Scrape down the bowl and mix to incorporate once more.In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.Add the flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to the creamed mixture. Begin and end with flour, and mix on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the bowl and fold together any bits of remaining butter or flour by hand.Using an ice cream scoop, or a 1/4 cup measure, divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.Bake the cupcakes for 20 minutes or until they spring back when pressed in their centers. Allow them to cool in the pan for 3 -5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.Buttered popcorn Swiss meringue buttercreamPlace a saucepan filled 1/3 full of water over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.In a large stainless-steel bowl, combine the egg whites and sugar. Set the bowl over the simmering water and cook while whisking intermittently. Cook until the mixture is hot (110°F) and you can no longer feel sugar granules when the mixture is rubbed between your finger and thumb. Transfer the hot mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed for 10 minutes or until a thick, shiny meringue forms that holds stiff peaks. The bowl should feel cool to the touch. If it doesn’t, refrigerate the meringue in the bowl for 10 minutes. Return the bowl to the mixer and swap the whisk attachment for the paddle attachment.Beat the room temperature butter into the meringue one cube at a time on medium-low speed, waiting to add the next cube when the previous cube disappears. The batter will deflate with the butter addition, and may even look curdled (if the butter was the slightest bit cold this happens), but this is normal. When all of the butter is added, beat the mixture on high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the buttered popcorn flavor. Add drops of yellow gel food color until a bright yellow hue is achieved. Add 1 or 2 drops of orange food color to bring the hue closer to the color of theatre style buttery popcorn. Scrape down the bowl and beat on high speed until fluffy and the color is consistent.Place the buttercream in a large pastry bag fitted with a large French piping tip, such as Ateco #828. Pipe a large double swirl of buttercream on top of each cupcake. Don’t top cupcakes with the popcorn until just before serving.Just before serving or displaying cupcakes, top each with a handful of crunchy theater style popcorn. The popcorn will become hydrated over time, so serve within an hour of garnishing.
    NotesOptional step: While the cupcakes are still slightly warm, brush their tops with a little melted salted butter. This adds an extra layer of buttery flavor. About 2 tablespoons will be more than enough.
    Use your favorite ready-made popcorn for this recipe, or you can pop your own. I love prepackaged Brim’s movie theater-style popcorn for this recipe.

    Classic Buttermilk Waffles

    Crisp on the outside, tender and light on the inside, these homemade Classic Buttermilk Waffles are a brunch staple. A secret ingredient gives them delicate texture.

    Like many of you, I’m getting ready for a brunch-y weekend with mom, with all the fixings. And these waffles are on the menu! They are so crisp and airy just out of the waffle iron. Crunchy and light on the outside, with a soft interior. They’re so easy to whip up using just a whisk!

    Dry ingredients.
    First, mix up the dry ingredients. Flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and the secret ingredient: cornstarch. Studied waffle makers may already be familiar with this method. Replacing some of the flour with cornstarch (in just about any waffle recipe) will make the exterior extra crisp, while maintaining a soft interior. It’s extra-good in this double buttery recipe.

    Wet ingredients.
    Buttermilk gives the waffles tangy flavor, and melted butter makes gives them richness. Mix up all of the wet ingredients. If you’d like a creamy cake note, add a splash of vanilla at this stage.

    Mix it up! (But not too much.)
    Pour in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, and expect a few small lumps. This is normal. If you don’t have lumps, then you’ve overmixed the batter. So, keep those lumps in there!

    Waffle irons: so many options!
    You’ll need a waffle iron, of course. And boy, waffle makers sure run the gamut! I have two now; a round Belgian-style waffle iron, which makes big, fluffy waffles with deep pockets. With that one, I can only make one at a time. And this new one (above) that makes four slightly thinner square waffles with deep pockets. I’m loving this one. I wish I’d had this one at the last brunch I hosted! Making a single fresh waffle for each guest was so time-consuming.
    Fill and bake the waffles in your iron according to the directions that came with your waffle maker. This iron held about 1 1/4 cups of batter and baked for 5 minutes. However, waffle irons vary greatly, so consult the manufacturers instructions.

    Mmmm. Golden brown goodness! Classic Buttermilk Waffles are practically a blank canvas ready for butter, maple syrup, berries. Even chocolate sauce with whipped cream. (Not that I’d know anything about that. Ahem.)

    I’ve really enjoyed this recipe on repeat. It’s a true staple for breakfast. The batter is a quick fix requiring no fussy whipping of egg whites or resting the batter. It’s ready to go as soon as your waffle iron is hot.
    For a uniquely southern twist, try my Grits Waffles, also made with buttermilk!

    Classic Buttermilk Waffles

    This classic buttermilk waffle batter is quick to whip up using just a whisk. Cornstarch is the secret ingredient which makes the waffle exterior crisp, while keeping the inside fluffy. If you don’t have cornstarch on hand, you may increase the flour to 1 3/4 cups and omit the corn starch. The waffles will be slightly more chewy, but still delicious.

    Freeze cooled waffles between sheets of waxed paper stored in freezer bags. Defrost, then reheat them in the oven with the above instructions. 
    For more savory applications, omit the sugar and optional vanilla from this recipe. Serve as the bread for a savory sandwich, or as the base for chicken and waffles.
