My Hawaiian Taste Buds


On the way home today I start thinking I had not done my test kitchen recipe in a long time. What was I going to make. I thought about making something with apples. A nice puff pastry with apples, cinnamon, raisins and some walnuts. Mmmmm, yes that sounds comforting. But then the apple fairies dancing in my head disappeared and I started thinking what about something with coconut and pineapple. Hmm what if I add banana to that and Macadamia nuts. Then it hit me....a Banana Pineapple Coconut Macadamia Nut Cake. LOL a long name I know and I am sure I will find something clever to name it. Has to be more clever then the Hawaiian Surprise. Ha! And since it was a test recipe and I only needed a little(since I am off sweets while training), I decided on cupcakes. And I tasted....(shhh don't tell my trainer)

...and tasted


All I have to say is HO-LEEE COW!!! This was the most moist, tenderly soft textured mix of flavors. And with the Coconut Butter-cream with the toasted coconut and chopped macadamia nuts....mmmm mmm mmm! Delicious! I am so curious how this will turn out as a cake.

Stay tuned more to come. I may just post the recipe. :)
