Follow these steps to mix and bake your batter, then add the luscious coconut ermine frosting for a finishing touch. This method keeps everything straightforward while highlighting the primary keyword, coconut cupcakes, throughout the process.

2-First, whisk together the eggs and 1/3 cup of the coconut milk in a bowl until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients including the flour, baking powder, and salt, then add the butter and the remaining coconut milk, stirring until the mixture turns creamy. Gradually incorporate the egg mixture in batches to maintain a smooth batter.

3-Divide the batter evenly into 12 cupcake liners placed in a muffin pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 22 minutes. Once baked, let the cupcakes cool completely before moving on to the frosting step. For the frosting, cook the sugar, flour, cornstarch, salt, and coconut milk over medium heat until thickened, then let it cool before whipping it with butter until fluffy.
