Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) Butter, at room temperature, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 larges Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Coconut or Regular Milk, at room temperature
  • cup Sour Cream
  • 2/3 cup Unsweeted Coconut Flakes, plus more for topping
  • 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 3 cups Confectioners's Sugar
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cupcake pan with paper liners (or a mini-pan). Grease lightly if not using liners.

Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together in a small bowl; set aside.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed beat butter until creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add sugar, beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl once or twice. Beat in vanilla extract. Beat in eggs one at a time.

Add the flour mixture in 4 additions, alternating with the milk. Beat briefly after each addition.

Stir in sour cream and coconut.

Fill cupcake wells about 3/4 of the way.

Bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (about 15 minutes for mini).

Cool pan on wire rack for 5 minutes, then turn out and return to wire rack to cool completely.

For the frosting beat the butter, sour cream and vanilla together until fluffy.

Add 2 cups Confectioners' and beat on low, continue to add confectioners' a little bit at a time until the frosting sticks to the beater when lifted without dripping off. If it gets too thick add in a little more sour cream. Beat an additional 3-4 minutes on low to get a light and fluffy frosting.

Fill a small, shallow bowl with coconut flakes. Frost cupcakes and stick the tops into the coconut to coat, using your hand to help it stick if needed.
