A friend gave me this recipe, I believe it is from Barefoot Contessa.
Cupcake
Ingredients:
3 Sticks of Butter (unfotunately that is not a typo, 3 sticks of butter go into this)
2 Cups of Sugar
5 Eggs
1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. Almond Extract
3 Cups of Flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 Cup Butter Milk
7 oz Coconut Flakes (1/2 of the bag)
Cream together the butter, sugar and eggs. Mix your dry ingredients together and add to creamed mixture. Mix in butermilk on low speed and add your coconut last. Fill cups3/4 full and bake at 325 for 25-35 minutes... I really need to make these again so I can remember the yeild and a more accurate bake time!

3 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 Tbsp Coconut Extract
