Coconut Cupcakes with Coconut Buttercream Frosting

I’m on a roll with cupcakes lately. Sorry to anyone dieting and following my blog, I don’t know what it is but I’m just craving them lately. At least you can bookmark the recipe for an upcoming birthday because you NEED to try these Coconut Cupcakes with Coconut Buttercream Frosting! That’s a need. Really though these are one of my all time favorite cupcakes. Who knows maybe I say that a lot but these would definitely make it to top 5 – along with Chocolate Cupcpakes, Vanilla Bean Cupcakes, Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes or Pina Colada Cupcakes (they’re just too cute with those little tiny umbrellas), and Carrot Cake Cupcakes (and they carrot decoration is a must :)). Oh but then there’s the strawberry cupcakes, and the cheesecake ones with a salted caramel sauce should definitely be in there somewhere. Because cheesecake is life! Yeah I have a hard time with favorites. I need to share a post with all the cupcake recipes I’ve made in a collection because I’ve shared so many cupcake recipes. You can never have too many to choose from!

These coconut cupcakes are soft and fluffy and perfectly moist. I even dare say they’ll likely be on of the best cupcakes you’ll ever taste! They are perfectly coconuty (but don’t worry they’re aren’t little shreds of coconut in the batter, I saved that for topping. It’s just a naturally coconut flavored cupcake made with coconut milk and coconut extract). These are simply Heaven in cupcake form. And don’t even get me started on the Coconut Buttercream Frosting! So dreamy. I actually made these a few weeks ago, I got ahead with recipes to share and now I just have to sit here and stare at them and wish so badly I could reach through the screen and grab another. Guess I’ll just have to make them again soon, it’s got to be someones half birthday right??
