This cupcake always takes center stage at a party. It’s simple elegance with a nice texture of coconut makes it one of everyone’s favorite. And, as one of the easiest cupcakes to put together, these are a must at your cupcake tasting bridal shower event!
- 1 Bag of Coconut Flakes
- 1 c. Softened Butter
- 1 t. Pure Vanilla Extract
- 3-4 c. Powdered Sugar
Start off by making a batch of our Favorite Traditional Vanilla Cupcakes! Let cool before frosting cupcakes.
We made the same vanilla buttercream frosting for this recipe as we did for our Vanilla Vanilla Cupcake Recipe. To start, beat the butter and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Slowly add the powdered sugar until the buttercream becomes the right consistency. If your buttercream becomes a little too thick, add a little of milk to thin it out.
To make these gorgeous little cupcakes, take a vanilla cupcake and top it with some vanilla buttercream. Smooth out the buttercream in as much as a dome shape as possible.
Dip the buttercream topped cupcake in a bowl full of coconut flakes.
