Coconut Cupcakes & Great Frosting

Image
I got this recipe and image from this site . I made them for a friend who recently found out she is allergic to gluten (in short, wheat). I've heard a lot of negative about gluten-free recipes, but these turned out great. Now, you probably have no use for this recipe, unless, you meet someone with seliac disease/ allergic to wheat. (which could happen because it is becoming more common.) However, I thought the frosting was so so yummy. It was good on the cupcake, on graham crackers & on my finger. :) Something that I think made both the cupcakes & frosting good, was a bit of almond extract, it was a pleasant change from vanilla. Servings Makes 18 standard-size muffins. Difficulty Easy Ingredients For the cupcakes: 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs + 1 egg white 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 3/4 teaspoon pure almond extract 1-1/2 cups gluten-free flour 1/2 teaspoon
