These cupcakes are moist and delicious-but what sets them apart is the luscious raspberry-flavor cream cheese frosting and the shredded coconut on top.

Time 1h5m

Yield 18 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups flour
1-1/2 tsp. CALUMET Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 oz. PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Raspberry Flavor Gelatin
1 Tbsp. half-and-half
1/3 cup BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut

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!
