- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
- 3 cups flour (13 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Cream Cheese Frosting
- 16 ounces cream cheese room temperature

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In 3 parts, alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry. Mix until just combined. Fold in 7 ounces of coconut.
- Line a muffin pan with paper liners. Fill each liner to the top with batter.
- Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the tops are brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove to a baking rack and cool completely.
Cream Cheese Frosting
