- 2 1/2 cups cake flour
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup Dry Instant Pudding Mix (coconut, vanilla, or white chocolate)
- 1 cup butter (softened, cut into cubes)
- 1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 large egg
- 1 to 2 teaspoons coconut extract
Sweet Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- (1) ounce pkg. cream cheese (softened)
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream, Milk, or Cream of Coconut or Coconut Creamer

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a stand mixer, stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and dry pudding mix.
- Beat the butter into the flour mixture, one cube at a time. Continue to beat until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, buttermilk, egg whites, egg, and coconut extract. Add the 1/2 of the egg-milk mixture and beat the batter is light and fluffy. Add remaining egg-milk mixture and mix just until combined. Take a spatula and scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Fill cupcake or muffin pan with cupcake liners. Lightly spray cooking spray, if desired. Spoon cake batter into each cupcake liner, filling about 3/4 full.
- Bake for about 14-17 minutes. Check for doneness by placing a cake tester or toothpick in the center of the cake. Let cool.

- In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese for 4 minutes until light and fluffy. Stir in powdered sugar and heavy cream, milk, coconut creamer, or cream of coconut. Add coconut extract.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled, pipe the frosting on each cupcake. Sprinkle with sweetened flaked coconut.
