ORANGE AND COCONUT MUFFIN LOGS.

Ingredients.....180gm of soft butter/ marg, 1/2 cup of soft brown sugar, 1/2 cup of raw castor sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla paste, 3 eggs, 2 cups of plain flour, 3/4 cup of cream, the zest and juice of 1 whole orange, 1 and 1/2 cups of dessicated coconut. Preheat your oven to 180 deg C. Grease a muffin tray / log tray and lightly dust with fine polenta, ( this recipe will make 18 muffins logs). Beat the butter/ marg, sugars and vanilla paste until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl lightly beat the eggs and add the cream . Add the cream mixture to the butter mix along with the flour. Beat till incorporated and then finally mix in the coconut. (Do not over beat.) Now spoon into the prepared muffin/ log pans. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes , cover with a sheet of baking paper for the last 5 minutes to prevent over browning. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. To finish the logs/ muffins , you can ice them and top with shredded coconut, though they do not have to be iced. Delicious either way.
