  • Preheat the oven to 350 F or 180 degrees.
  • Grease a cupcake pan and flour it.
  • Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter and add the sugar until pale and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time to the mixer, beating well and making sure to scrape down what sticks to the sides. Add the vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk with lemon drops. (A little flour, then a little milk, and so on).
  • Add the melted chocolate to the mixture. (You can melt the chocolate in the microwave, opening it every 30 seconds to stir, making sure it doesn’t burn).
  • Divide the mixture among the cupcake molds and fill each 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the cupcakes are cooked (you can insert a toothpick to ensure it comes out clean, this indicates they are ready).
  • Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. In a saucepan, heat the egg yolks, evaporated milk, brown sugar, and butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla, salt, coconut, and nuts to the cream. Stir completely and spread on top of the cupcakes.
