Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter the insides of 8 straight-sided cups or shallow mugs. Cut 8 strips of baking parchment or silicone paper, about 30cm long and tall enough to come three quarters of the way up the sides of the cups. Brush the paper with butter, roll into cylinders and put in the cups. To make the topping, mix together the icing sugar and flour, then stir in enough melted butter to make a crumbly texture; you may not need all of it.
  2. For the muffins, sift together the flour and baking powder. Stir in the remaining muffin ingredients, allowing the raspberries to break up slightly. Divide the batter between the cups and sprinkle over the topping. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the muffins are risen and golden.
  3. Leave for a minute, then loosen around the edges of the cups with a knife and lift out carefully. To finish them off, tie a piece of string around the outside.

    I loved the combination of raspberry and coconut, though they're definitely not to everyone's taste.

    Despite following the recipe to the letter - I didn't find this an easy to make... I felt the batter should be made first and the raspberries added last so they don't break up to much when you mix it together. Having said this, they did taste night and I would try to make them again.

    There's too little sugar in this recipe and the cakes taste floury as a result - also, if you make them in a muffin tray they are near impossible to get out in one piece. They don't really rise much either because of the weight of the topping. Not great. Not very 'muffiny'.

    These turned out lovely. I didn't add any raspberries and I ended up with moist well risen muffins that tasted had a lovely subtle coconut flavour. the crunchy topping was nice too.
