Ingredients
- 5 whole Eggs, Separated
- 1/2 cup Butter, Softened
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Sweetened, Flaked Coconut
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- Icing
- 2 packages (8 Ounces Each) Cream Cheese, Softened
- 1/2 cup Butter, Softened
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 pounds Powdered Sugar
- 1 cup Finely Chopped Pecans
- 1 cup Sweetened, Flaked Coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin pans (regular or mini) with nonstick baking spray OR line with paper cupcake liners.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites they're stiff. Transfer to another bowl and set aside; clean the mixing bowl and return to the mixer.
- Combine the butter, vegetable oil, and sugar in the mixing bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla, the beat until smooth. Add 1 cup of coconut and beat to combine.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl, then alternate adding the flour mixture with the buttermilk, mixing for a few seconds after each addition. Add the egg whites and use a rubber spatula to fold them into the batter. Add batter to the muffin cups, the bake for 13-14 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- To make the frosting, whip together the butter and cream cheese until smooth, then sift the powdered sugar and mix it in until combine. Add the vanilla and mix. Add 1 cup of coconut and the pecans, reserving a small amount of pecans for garnish. Mix until totally combined.
- Frost cooled cupcakes, then sprinkle extra pecans on top. Refrigerate cupcakes if not serving right away (frosting will soften at room temperature.)
