This is a combination/variation on my coconut and lemon cake recipes. It goes great with mango-lime filling and coconut cream cheese frosting.

Time 45m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups white sugar
1 cup butter
4 eggs
1 tablespoon coconut extract
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup fresh lime juice
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
2 tablespoons freshly grated lime zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 36 cupcake cups with paper liners.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in the bowl of an electric stand mixer until fluffy, about 10 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, adding coconut extract and vanilla extract with the last egg.
  • Combine flour, 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and nutmeg in another bowl. Beat into the egg mixture until thoroughly combined; beat in buttermilk and lime juice. Stir in coconut and lime zest.
  • Fill each of the prepared cupcake cups with about 1/4 cup of batter using a large cookie scoop.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.

These cupcakes are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love the combination of coconut and lime, and the frosting is the perfect finishing touch.

The cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall they were still good. I would recommend using less sugar in the frosting next time.

These coconut lime cupcakes were so delicious and refreshing! The lime flavor really shines through and is balanced perfectly by the coconut. I loved the moist and fluffy texture of the cupcakes, and the frosting was the perfect finishing touch.
