Coconut cupcakes

If you're in the mood to treat yourself, then this is the ultimate cupcake. It's a recipe from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (my favorite cookbook) and it is sooooooo good. Ingredients which make the cake part extra good include butter (not going to tell you how much. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. This is one of those times.), buttermilk, vanilla extract, almond extract, buttermilk, and 14 ounces of sweetened coconut. Even the raw batter was good. But as good as the cake part is, with these cupcakes, it's really all about the icing. Cream cheese, butter, vanilla, almond extract, and confectioners' sugar work together to make something really, really incredible. More coconut goes on top. Magical. Perhaps the best cupcake you'll ever have. I know I can't wait for another excuse to make them...
