Preheat oven to 350f/160c fan.
Prepare Simple Vanilla Coconut Oil Cake, per directions.
Fill 24 mini cupcake moulds with batter. I use silicon cupcake moulds which these removed from easily. If you have regular moulds liners or a bit of butter may be needed.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until very light golden brown.
Allow to cool fully before gently slicing in half, removing the top part of the cupcake.
Melt the dark chocolate either in the microwave or over a bain marie. Dip the top part of the cupcake into the dark chocolate and set aside. Sprinkle dark chocolate tops with desiccated coconut.
Allow cupcake tops to cool for dark chocolate to set.
