I followed the recipe exactly, except I cut the frosting recipe in half. I reserved 1/3 of the batter for mini cupcakes. The cupcakes were dense and a bit heavy. The mini cupcakes were more so. I wish i had noted the comment by Nobukokai and added all the coconut. I really needs to rise a bit higher and be lighter and i do not know how to tweak that. The icing was too sweet and I wish i had seen lovinlabs81's comment about cutting the 10X sugar. That would have been better.

The first batch I baked, I fill up the each mold only with 3/4 and they turned out to be on a small side. These cupcakes doesn't rise as much as the most of cupcakes. So be sure to fill the batter up to the top or you'll end up with some small cupcakes. The frosting recipe makes a TON of frosting and I needed only the half of what the recipe made. It was just a little too soft to pipe so it may be a good idea to adjust the sugar amount for the consistency you're looking for. I accidently folded the whole coconut into a batter and didn't realize that's not what the recipe says until everyone already ate them and loved them!

These are awesome, but I tweaked the recipe a little. I added a little under a cup of buttermilk and added a tablespoon of vegetable oil. I also, cooked then for 28 mins and they were perfect! The second batch I left in for the full thirty and they were more dense. Also, for the icing, I only added 2 cups of sugar with the same amt. of cream cheese and butter, it was perfect not too sweet and just the right amt. Next time, I will not as the almond extract to the icing and add coconut extract to the cake.

yum! i made the cupcakes and it worked well! It was quite large like a muffin. I used ordinary milk instead of buttermilk.The problem was the icing because i tried not to overmix it.after i add the icing sugar, the icing went runny, like a watery glace icing! i put it in the fridge while the cupcakes are cooling and it still didint work! disappointed! The taste of the cream cheese icing was a bit weird because it had a sharp taste. overall good on the cupcake, but bad on the icing! 3 of 5.

To say these cupcakes were divine would be an understatement. This is probably one of the best desserts I've ever made in my life. Everyone that had one thought they were unbelievable.

I was able to make about 30 cupcakes out of this recipe, and I filled them to the top - I will only fill them about 3/4 next time, as they ran over. I used my own cream cheese frosting recipe. Absolutely delicious! A comment from a male co-worker was: these were so good that all I could think was - why aren't they bigger?!?.

I took these to a party and they were a big hit. I got 25 cupcakes out of my batch and I filled them completely to the top. Yes, the icing makes way too much, so I might tweek that next time.

The frosting alone is five stars!! It is the best coconut frosting I have ever had!!! I will make these again and again. The flavor of the cake is fantastic, however I did find them a little dense for my liking despite it being complimentary to the frosting.
