Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Spray bottom of 13x9 pan with baking spray (with flour).
• In a large bowl, beat cake mix, 1 1/3 cup of the coconut milk (set the remaining 1/3 cup aside for the frosting), water and egg whites on low speed 30 seconds; increase to medium speed and beat another 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded coconut until well combined; pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake about 30 minutes, remove from oven and let cool completely, about an hour.
• Meanwhile, microwave white chips uncovered on high 30 seconds or until melted. Stir; if chips are not completely melted, microwave 15 seconds longer, then stir until all chips are melted. Stir in powdered sugar, butter, reserved coconut milk and the vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 30-60 minutes.

Steps:

• Cream together the butter, powdered sugar, and milk in a medium bowl using an electric mixer on low speed until well blended.
• Increase mixer speed to medium and beat for 30 seconds, or until smooth.
• Blend in the melted chocolate.
• Stir in the coconut.
• Use frosting as desired.

Steps:

• Place a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer in the freezer until cold, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, fill the bowl with ice water and let stand for 5 minutes. Pour out the ice water and quickly wipe the bowl dry.
• Sift the sugar and powdered milk into the chilled bowl, then add the cold cream and vanilla. Whip the mixture on high speed until stiff, but smooth peaks form, about 2 minutes. If you accidentally overwhip, the peaks will look like they are cracking. Add about a tablespoon more heavy cream and hand whip the frosting until it smooths out.
• The recipe makes enough frosting to generously top 24 cupcakes or to cover two 8-inch-round cakes, plus extra to pipe decorations. Unrefrigerated, the frosting will hold its shape for up to 6 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Whisk coconut and sugar together in a bowl. Sift in flour and whisk to combine. Make a well in the middle of the mixture and set aside.
• Whisk eggs together in a small bowl and pour into the well in the flour mixture. Add enough milk to reach a slightly thickened, but runny, texture. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes. Pour simple syrup over cake before serving.

Steps:

• Cream butter, brown sugar and vanilla in large bowl until light and creamy. Add egg and beat well.
• Combine next 5 ingredients in bowl and add to butter mixture.
• Mix well. NOTE: If dough is not sticking together add more milk.
• With rolling pin, roll out into large rectangle and cut with glass cup or cookie cutter.
• Bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 375° for 7 to 10 minutes.
• Let cool before icing.
• For icing: Add all ingredients together adding more milk to get easy spreading consistency.

Steps:

• Put the yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and coconut milk.
• Stir to combine and then bring to a boil.
• As the mixture heats, begin whipping the eggs on high speed.
• Boil the coconut milk and sugar until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (238 degrees F on a candy thermometer).
• Remove the mixture from the heat.
• Stop the mixer and pour a small amount of the syrup into the egg yolks.
• Quickly beat on high again.
• Repeat twice more until all the syrup is incorporated. (You can also add the sugar syrup in a steady stream with the mixer on, but be careful not to let it hit the beater or the syrup will be flung to the sides of the bowl where it will harden.).
• Continue beating until the mixture is cool.
• Add the coconut extract.
• With the mixer on medium speed, begin beating in the butter 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time.
• When the butter is completely incorporated, scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for another 1 minute.

• In large bowl, beat cake mix, remaining coconut milk (1 1/3 cups), the water and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in 1/2 cup of the coconut until well combined. Pour into pan.
• Bake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool completely; about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in 2-quart bowl, microwave vanilla baking chips uncovered on High about 30 seconds or until melted. Stir; if chips are not completely melted, microwave 15 seconds longer, then stir until all chips are melted. Stir in powdered sugar, butter, reserved 1/3 cup coconut milk and the vanilla. Cover; refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes. (If frosting becomes too firm to spread, microwave uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds to soften; stir until smooth.)
• Spread frosting over cake. Immediately sprinkle top with 1/4 cup coconut. Store loosely covered.

Steps:

• To Make the Cake
• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. and set oven rack in the middle position. Lightly coat the surface of a twelve-cup cupcake pan with a nonstick spray and line each cup with a foil or paper liner.
• 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, egg whites, and vanilla extract to combine. In another bowl, or over parchment paper, sift together the flour and baking powder.
• 3. Beat the butter and salt together in an electric mixer fitted with a whisk until creamy and smooth and while continuing to beat add sugar in a steady stream. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• 4. Add one-third of the dry ingredients along with one-third of the coconut cream mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Add the remaining dry ingredients and coconut cream mixture in two alternating batches, beating between each addition to fully incorporate. Add the dried, ground coconut and sweetened dried coconut with the last addition of dry ingredients. Scrape down the bowl and give a final stir with a sturdy rubberspatula.
• 5. Fill each cupcake cup about two-thirds full and knock the pan on the countertop once or twice to release air bubbles and even the surface of the batter. Place pan in oven. After 10-12 minutes, rotate the pan 180 degrees and continue to bake until cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center and a cake tester or wooden skewer emerges with crumbs clinging to it. Total baking time will be 20-22 minutes.
• 6. Cool pan on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, then remove the cupcakes from the pan to the rack and let cool completely.
• To make the frosting
• 1. Melt white chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of water that is not quite simmering. Make sure the bottom of the bowl rests several inches above the surface of the water. Stir chocolate until smooth and let cool to room temperature on the countertop.
• 2. Sift the powdered sugar into a medium-sized bowl. Using a whisk, stir in the milk until all of the sugar has dissolved and mixture is smooth. Add butter, vanilla extract, and salt and continue to beat until smooth and shiny. With a rubber spatula, stir in the cooled white chocolate.
• 3. Place frosting in the refrigerator until cool enough to frost the cupcakes, about 30 minutes. (Frosting can be kept for a day in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Refrigerated frosting will need to soften at room temperature before spreading.)
