Coconut Cupcakes. Coconut Cupcakes with Coconut Buttercream Frosting. These coconut cupcakes are one of my all time favorite cupcakes. Who knows, maybe I say that a lot but these would definitely make it to the top five.
I put as much as they can handle! I also cut some of the cupcakes in half and put the icing in the center with some added coconut. You could maybe add a little bit more butter to the recipe though. You can have Coconut Cupcakes using 13 ingredients and 13 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

The icing glaze is an easy alternative to a traditional whipped buttercream. Traditional white cupcake batter gets a tropical twist with the addition of coconut milk and shredded coconut to the batter creating rich and moist coconut cupcakes. Beat for about two minutes on medium speed until well combined. I got my first cake order from a stranger last week. I didn't even know this was a thing I was going to be doing, but apparently it's happening.
