  • Divide the batter equally between 12 lined muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer the baking tin to a wire rack and let the cupcakes cool for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the cupcakes from the tin and place on the wire rack to cool completely.

Meanwhile, Make the Frosting
  • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat together the butter, confectioners’ sugar, milk, vanilla and salt until smooth and fluffy, about three minutes.

  • Frost the cupcakes, garnish with the shredded coconut and serve or store in an airtight container for up to two days.
