  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 4 eggs

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated lime zest

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 36 cupcake cups with paper liners.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in the bowl of an electric stand mixer until fluffy, about 10 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, adding coconut extract and vanilla extract with the last egg.
  • Combine flour, 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and nutmeg in another bowl. Beat into the egg mixture until thoroughly combined; beat in buttermilk and lime juice. Stir in coconut and lime zest.
  • Fill each of the prepared cupcake cups with about 1/4 cup of batter using a large cookie scoop.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
