Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
3 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup flaked coconut
lemon coconut frosting:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp grated lemon peel
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup flaked coconut, divided
shredded lemon peel , optional

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon peel and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Beat just until combined. Fold in coconut.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, grated lemon peel, vanilla and lemon juice until fluffy. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth; stir in 1/4 cup coconut. Frost cupcakes; sprinkle with remaining coconut. Garnish with shredded lemon peel if desired. Yield: 15 cupcakes.
