Ingredients

CUPCAKES
15 1/2 oz all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 c vegetable oil
13 oz granulated sugar
1 1/4 c buttermilk
3 eggs
2 Tbsp plus 2 teaspoons liquid red food coloring (not gel)
1 1/4 tsp vinegar
1 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/8 c water
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
1 1/2 lb cream cheese, at room temperature
1 lb butter, at room temperature
2 lb powdered sugar, sifted
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
red nonpareils, for ganish

Steps:

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees F.
2. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder into a bowl and set aside.
3. In a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, mix oil, sugar, and buttermilk until combined. Add eggs, food coloring, vinegar, vanilla and water and mix well. Add the dry ingredients a little bit at a time and mix on low, scraping down sides occasionally, and mix until just combined. Be sure not to over mix, or the batter will come out tough.
4. Line 2 6-cup jumbo cupcake pans with jumbo paper liners, scoop the batter into the liners and bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.
5. Whip the butter and cream cheese together in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until creamed. Gradually add powdered sugar to the mixture and scrape down the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
6. The frosting can be used right away, or stored in the refrigerator up to a week.
7. Frost cooled cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting. Garnish with nonpareils.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 1/3 C flour
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 C vegetable oil
1 C buttermilk
3 eggs
2 1/2 t vanilla extract, divided
2 t almond extract
1 1/3 C sugar
1 3/4 C shredded sweetened coconut, plus extra for decorating the frosted cupcake

Steps:

Mix all in order. Fill cupcake liners 1/2 way. Bake at 350 ndegrees for 20-25 minutes or until light brown.

Tips:

Use room temperature ingrédients, as they blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
Do not beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, as this can make the cupcakes tough. Instead, beat them until they are foamy and have soft peaks.
Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full, as the cupcakes will rise during baking. If you fill them too full, they may overflow and make a mess.
Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven. This helps to ensure that they rise evenly and do not sink in the middle.
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Auntie Em's Coconut Cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their moist and fluffy texture, sweet coconut flavor, and creamy frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
