How to Make Coconut Milk Cupcakes With Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting And Fre

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the coconut milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until combined. Stir in the coconut extract and coconut flakes.
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the coconut cream cheese frosting.
