Steps:
- For the Cupcakes:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two cupcake pans with 18 cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer (or a large bowl with a handheld mixer) beat oil and sugar until smooth, followed by the eggs, one at a time, beating each egg into the mixture well before adding the next one. Beat in the vanilla.
- Alternately stir the flour mixture and the milk into the sugar mixture (Start with 1/3 of the flour mixture, stir, add 1/2 the milk, stir, repeat) until everything is mixed and a smooth batter has formed. Fill the prepared cupcake-lined cavities 3/4 way full with batter and bake at 350 degrees for 20-22 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake should come out clean.
- Let cool in pan for a few minutes before carefully removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting and topping:
- Beat bucrtter and cream cheese for a full three minutes until pale and fluffy, then slowly beat in powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until a thick frosting comes together.
- Beat in gelatin mix, followed by the half and half.
- Pipe or frost cupcakes with the raspberry cream cheese frosting. Sprinkle shredded coconut over tops of cupcakes, and serve!

Steps:
- 1. Make the Cupcakes:
- 2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla, almond and coconut extracts and mix well.
- 3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In 3 parts, alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry. Mix until just combined. Fold in 7 ounces of coconut.
- 4. Line a muffin pan with paper liners. Fill each liner to the top with batter. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the tops are brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove to a baking rack and cool completely.
- 5. Make the frosting:
- 6. Meanwhile, make the frosting. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on low speed, cream together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla and almond extracts. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix until smooth. Frost the cupcakes and sprinkle with the remaining coconut.
- 7. For Raspberry Filling:
- 8. Add the cornstarch to the water and stir so it melts. Then add everything into a medium size pot and bring to a boil until thickens. Use a whisk to mix the berries up. Let it simmer for 15 minutes stirring often. Strain the mixture through a sieve.
- 9. Make a hole in the top of the cupcake and then fill with raspberry filling. Add 2 tablespoons of the berry sauce to the frosting. Do not stir! Just add it to the piping bag and pipe. The frosting will come out with a nice raspberry swirl!
