STEP 1
Heat oven to 375°F. Line a standard muffin pan with liners or lightly grease it.
STEP 2
Cut pouch open at top corner. Squeeze the batter into a bowl, then gently fold in the raspberries.
STEP 3
Scoop the batter into each cup, filling them 2/3's full.
STEP 4
Bake for 18-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you’re using frozen raspberries, bake time might be slightly longer.
STEP 5
While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the frosting.
STEP 6
Frosting: Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the butter until smooth and creamy. On low-speed, gradually add half of the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. Then, add the remaining powdered sugar, continuing to mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
STEP 7
Add the coconut milk, along with the vanilla and coconut extracts, then mix on medium-speed until the frosting becomes light and fluffy.
