This is excellent:

100gms margarine
2 cups flour,
1 small cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp cream of tartar
2 tsp baking soda
1 cup coconut
1 cup sultanas
Milk to make a soft batter

Whizzed everything except sultanas, then folded those through.
200°C for about 12-15 minutes. Made 36 cupcakes

For other flavours, add chocolate chips, cocoa, chopped nuts, ground almonds, other dried fruit, etc. , leave out sultana's, etc.
