Lemon Coconut Cupcakes

Lemon Coconut Cupcakes
  • Cupcakes:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 5 tablespoons butter, cut into chunks
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • Frosting:
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut, or to taste


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  3. Heat 5 tablespoons butter and milk together in a saucepan over low heat until butter is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Beat white sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl using an electric hand mixer on low until mixture is smooth and thickened. Slowly pour flour mixture into sugar-egg mixture while mixing with the electric mixer until just incorporated. Slowly add butter-milk mixture; beat until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup shredded coconut. Fill muffin cups with batter.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Beat softened butter and cream cheese together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium. Gradually beat confectioners' sugar into creamed butter mixture on low until incorporated. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. Spread frosting over cooled cupcakes; sprinkle about 1 teaspoon shredded coconut onto each cupcake.
