Steps:
- For the cupcakes:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line two 12-cup standard muffin tins with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and set aside.
- Using a handheld mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time until just combined. Add the vanilla and coconut extracts. Add the buttermilk and the dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. Mix in the coconut.
- Fill the cupcake liners two-thirds full with batter. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on wire racks before frosting. Keep the oven on.
- For the frosting:
- Using a handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together until light and smooth. Add the vanilla, and then slowly add the confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time until thoroughly incorporated.
- To assemble:
- Frost the cupcakes generously with about 4 tablespoons of frosting. Garnish with the toasted coconut flakes.
