  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cupcakes 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon coconut extract
  • ½ cup canned coconut milk
  • ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and line your cupcake pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and coconut extract, blending the flavors.
  4. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and coconut milk to the mixture, mixing gently to keep the batter tender. Finally, fold in the shredded coconut.
  5. Divide the batter evenly into the cupcake liners and bake until lightly golden and the tops spring back when touched. Allow cooling before frosting.
  6. To prepare the frosting, beat the softened butter until smooth, then gradually mix in the powdered sugar. Add lime juice and zest, adjusting the consistency with heavy cream as needed.
  7. Once cooled, frost the cupcakes generously.

Notes

Ensure butter is softened for both the cupcake and frosting for better mixing.
You can adjust the amount of lime juice in the frosting to your taste; more juice will give a tangier flavor.
Store frosted cupcakes in the refrigerator if not served right away to maintain freshness.
