Let’s get started!

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder and salt until well combined.

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add egg and vanilla extract and mix well. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

On low speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.

Gently fold in shredded coconut.

Scoop batter about 2/3 full into silicon cupcake liners and bake for 14 to 16 minutes.

Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, pipe on white frosting and then roll in toasted coconut.

Use a #2 tip to pipe the symbol of the Heart of Te Fiti on top of each cupcake.
