RASPBERRY COCONUT CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 18 regular muffin cups with paper liners.
• In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and the butter with an electric mixer on medium speed. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the extracts. On low sped, alternately add the 1/3 of the flour mixture, 1/2 of the buttermilk, another 1/3 of the flour, the remaining buttermilk and then the remaining flour, beating just until blended. Stir in the coconut.

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until incorporated. Beat in the salt, then turn the mixer to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, another 2-3 minutes. Add the jam and beat until combined. The buttercream should be light, creamy and smooth.
