1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Grease or line a standard cupcake tin.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Using a standing mixer, beat together butter and sugar over medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Incorporate eggs in 2 additions. In a small bowl, whisk together milks and extracts. Alternately add dry and wet ingredients to butter mixture in 2-3 additions each, making sure not to over-mix.
3. Divide batter evenly among prepared cups, filling about 3/4 of the way full. Bake 16-20 minutes, rotating half way through, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes in tin. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
4. While the cupcakes bake, prepare frosting. Beat together butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Make sure to start on low speed and increase to medium as sugar becomes incorporated. Stir in extracts and salt. Transfer frosting to a piping bag with a medium to large round tip. Chill in the fridge for about an hour or until somewhat firmed and easier to pipe.
5. After cupcakes are cooled, pipe frosting in a circular pattern, working from the outside inwards. Top with coconut flakes. Enjoy.
