Coconut cream cupcakes

I made these cupcakes especially for you ALDI lovers and the recipe will be stored on my blog for when you need it next.

The taste of coconut is perfect with a dessert and these yummy cupcakes are not only simple but very delicious.  Throw all ingredients into one bowl and 10 minutes later your cupcakes will be cooking away in the oven.
