These Almond Cupcakes with Coconut Buttercream Frosting are the perfect flavor combo! The Coconut Buttercream that tops these is crazy delicious, light and rich all at the same time. Perfect for any occasion!

Don’t you just love a sweet cupcake?

And of course they say you eat with your eyes first (which I think sounds creepy, but whatev) so these are as pretty as they are delicious! I call them Tea Party cupcakes because they are perfect for ladylike type people.

But don’t let their daintiness scare you. My husband ate 4 and he’s still a man.

The cupcakes are a light almond flavor with a sweet coconut frosting. I used Cream of Coconut in the frosting, so it’s a light sweet coconut flavor. If you like a more intense coconut in these you could easily add a bit of coconut extract. Or you could even use a traditional buttercream frosting if you prefer!

I used European Style Butter when I made the frosting for this recipe to amp up the richness factor, but you absolutely don’t have to. You can simply use regular unsalted butter instead!

When I baked the cupcakes I used some almond extract, which makes the cupcake nutty and sweet. Paired with the coconut frosting it’s perfect!

The frosting is super simple. I used Cream of Coconut in the frosting which is so delicious. If your cream of coconut has separated when you open the can dump it all in the blender or small food processor and mix it until it’s smooth.

Add that right in with your butter and powdered sugar and beat it until it’s creamy! Pipe it on your cupcakes and even top them with some toasted coconut if you’d like to!
