12 Servings
Prep: 30 min. + cooling Bake: 15 min.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg white
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup baking cocoa
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
FROSTING:
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup marshmallow creme
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Directions

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly. Beat in egg and egg white. Beat in the buttermilk, water and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add to batter just until moistened.
Fill foil- or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 375° for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
For frosting, in a saucepan, combine the egg yolk, milk, sugar and marshmallow creme. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 15 minutes (do not boil). Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Fold in coconut and pecans. Cool completely at room temperature. Frost cupcakes. Yield: 1 dozen.
