Cupcake 16 - Lemongrass Cupcakes with Coconut Lemongrass Buttercream


The more grown-up cupcake was a Lemongrass cupcake with Lemon grass Coconut Buttercream. Subtle flavor, good texture and just enough lemongrass, but not so much as to overwhelm. This was my first venture with fresh lemongrass, I was not sure what to expect. It seemed to be a bit fibrous, but this did not affect the texture of the cupcake adversely. I decided to leave out most of lemongrass used to steep in milk, next time I would use more of it. The coconut worked well in the buttercream.

Recipe to follow, I'm running behind this week.
