Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons Coconut extract
• 0.75 cups Coconut milk
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Sweetened shredded coconut (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and coconut extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the coconut milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut using a spatula.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until combined.

Step 11

Add the heavy cream and beat the frosting until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 12

Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, frost them generously with the cream cheese frosting.

Step 13

Sprinkle the frosted cupcakes with sweetened shredded coconut for a snowy 'blizzard' effect.

Step 14

Serve and enjoy these tropical delights!
