Coconut Cupcakes With White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting image

As adults we expect more. These are not your ordinary cupcakes. This cupcake supplies more flavor per bite. Using the coconut milk (DO NOT use Cream of coconut), instead of whole milk will help to intensify the flavor. This recipe comes from Cuisine at Home. Enjoy!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cupcakes turned out flat and dense. The frosting was also too runny.
