Coconut Cupcakes

• CUPCAKES
• 1 box Coconut Cake Mix
• 1 box Coconut Pudding Mix
• 1/2 cups Sugar
• 3/4 cups Water
• 3/4 cups Oil
• 1 cup Sour Cream
• 4 whole Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Coconut Extract
• _____
• FROSTING
• 1/2 cups Butter, Softened
• 1 package Cream Cheese Softened (8 Oz.)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 4 cups Powdered Sugar

1. For the cupcakes:
2. In a large bowl, add the cake mix, pudding mix, and sugar. To these dry ingredients, add the water, oil, sour cream, eggs and coconut extract. Mix with electric beaters for about 3-4 minutes on high.
3. Pour your batter into lined cupcake pan. I like to make small cupcakes, so depending on the size of your cupcakes, you will need to cook at 350F and watch until they are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean (about 20 minutes).
4. Then let cool and frost the cupcakes with your cream cheese frosting.
5. To make the frosting:
6. Soften the butter and cream cheese, add the vanilla, and then slowly beat in the powdered sugar until you get the right consistency. I like to sprinkle coconut on top of the cupcakes. In the picture, I dyed the frosting pink for a birthday party. Enjoy!
