Steps:
- To Make the Cake
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. and set oven rack in the middle position. Lightly coat the surface of a twelve-cup cupcake pan with a nonstick spray and line each cup with a foil or paper liner.
- 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, egg whites, and vanilla extract to combine. In another bowl, or over parchment paper, sift together the flour and baking powder.
- 3. Beat the butter and salt together in an electric mixer fitted with a whisk until creamy and smooth and while continuing to beat add sugar in a steady stream. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- 4. Add one-third of the dry ingredients along with one-third of the coconut cream mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Add the remaining dry ingredients and coconut cream mixture in two alternating batches, beating between each addition to fully incorporate. Add the dried, ground coconut and sweetened dried coconut with the last addition of dry ingredients. Scrape down the bowl and give a final stir with a sturdy rubberspatula.
- 5. Fill each cupcake cup about two-thirds full and knock the pan on the countertop once or twice to release air bubbles and even the surface of the batter. Place pan in oven. After 10-12 minutes, rotate the pan 180 degrees and continue to bake until cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center and a cake tester or wooden skewer emerges with crumbs clinging to it. Total baking time will be 20-22 minutes.
- 6. Cool pan on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, then remove the cupcakes from the pan to the rack and let cool completely.
- To make the frosting
- 1. Melt white chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of water that is not quite simmering. Make sure the bottom of the bowl rests several inches above the surface of the water. Stir chocolate until smooth and let cool to room temperature on the countertop.
- 2. Sift the powdered sugar into a medium-sized bowl. Using a whisk, stir in the milk until all of the sugar has dissolved and mixture is smooth. Add butter, vanilla extract, and salt and continue to beat until smooth and shiny. With a rubber spatula, stir in the cooled white chocolate.
- 3. Place frosting in the refrigerator until cool enough to frost the cupcakes, about 30 minutes. (Frosting can be kept for a day in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Refrigerated frosting will need to soften at room temperature before spreading.)

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cupcakes mix together more evenly and create a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full: This will help prevent the cupcakes from overflowing in the oven.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 18-20 minutes.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
- For a richer flavor, use melted chocolate instead of cocoa powder in the frosting: You can also add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder to the frosting for a mocha flavor.
- To make the cupcakes even more decadent, fill them with a chocolate ganache or a raspberry jam before frosting them: You can also top the cupcakes with chopped nuts, sprinkles, or grated chocolate.
