How to Make Jumbo Coconut Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the cups.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream and 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Fill the prepared cupcake liners about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
