  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 14 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 recipe of my favorite cream cheese frosting*

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
  3. In an electric mixer bowl, cream the butter and sugar on high for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Gradually add eggs, mixing in one at a time and scraping the bowl as needed. Add vanilla and almond extracts and mix well.
  4. In three additions, incorporate the dry ingredients and buttermilk, starting and finishing with the dry. Mix until just combined and fold in half of the shredded coconut.
  5. Fill each cupcake liner to the top with batter and bake for 30-35 minutes until lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  6. Prepare the cream cheese frosting as per the linked recipe.
  7. Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with a spatula or piping bag and sprinkle with the remaining shredded coconut.

Notes

Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
Use fresh shredded coconut for a more intense flavor.
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
