Choco-Coco Cupcakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 cups white sugar
    1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 cup vegetable oil
    3 eggs, beaten
    1/3 cup coconut milk
    1 1/3 cups dried shredded coconut
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Chocolate Ganache:
    6 1/4 ounces 85% dark chocolate, chopped
    1 cup heavy whipping cream
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
    Combine 2 1/3 cups plus 1 1/2 tablespoon flour, 1 1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoon white sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
    Mix vegetable oil, eggs, and coconut milk together in another bowl. Pour over flour mixture; stir well to combine. Fold shredded coconut and vanilla extract into batter. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, filling each liner 2/3 of the way.
    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack until cooled completely.
    Place chopped chocolate in a bowl.
    Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until edges are bubbling, about 5 minutes. Pour over chocolate in the bowl. Mix until ganache is smooth and shiny. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
    Remove ganache from the refrigerator. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy and slightly lightened in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
    Frost cooled cupcakes with whipped ganache.
