Steps:
- For the coconut cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a standard muffin tin with twelve paper liners. Set aside.
- Add shredded coconut to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer ground coconut to a medium bowl. To the bowl, flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg, egg white, coconut extract, and vanilla extract, and beat until completely combined, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl. Reduce mixer speed to low and then add the coconut/flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of coconut milk, and beating until each addition is just combined. Divide batter evenly between the lined cups.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out just barely clean, about 18 minutes. Remove from oven and let cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then remove cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the fluffy coconut buttercream: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, whip butter on medium-high speed until very fluffy, about 8 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add powdered sugar and salt, and beat on low to incorporate. Add half and half, coconut extract, and vanilla extract, mixing on low until combined. Increase mixer speed to medium-high and beat until very light and fluffy, about 5 to 6 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- To assemble the cupcakes: Use a large cookie scoop (I use this one) to top each cupcake with a round of coconut buttercream. Gently tap the bottom of the cupcake on the counter once or twice to settle the buttercream onto the cupcake. The coconut buttercream recipe makes just enough frosting for twelve cupcakes frosted in this generous manner, so try not to snitch too much out of the bowl! Top the buttercream with some large flake coconut, if desired, to finish off the cupcakes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- Add desiccated coconut to a small non-stick frying pan and place on a low heat. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until coconut turns golden brown. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugar. Beat together using an electric mixer until pale and creamy. Add vanilla and egg and beat briefly until combined.
- Add flour, baking powder, salt and toasted coconut. Then add coconut cream. Beat on a low speed until a thick and creamy cake batter forms. Don't over mix.
- Spoon out cake batter into your prepared liners and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes or until golden. Leave cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Add butter to a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes or until your butter is smooth and creamy. There should be no lumps.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add vanilla and beat briefly to combine. Then add 125 grams (1 cup) sugar. Beat on a low speed to combine, then turn up the speed to medium and mix for 30 seconds or so. Mixture should be thick and appear a little dry - this is fine.
- Next, add 250 grams (2 cups) sugar, along with 2 tablespoons of coconut cream. Beat on medium speed until mixture is thick and creamy.
- Finally, add remaining 125 grams (1 cup) sugar and beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Buttercream should be lovely and thick at this stage with no lumps.
- If the buttercream is too thick, add an extra tablespoon or two of coconut cream. To finish, remove your mixer, and give your buttercream a good stir by hand using a spatula - this helps to eliminate any air bubbles.
- Transfer your buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Frost swirls of buttercream onto each cupcake. Sprinkle over flaked coconut.
