Moist and delicious chocolate cake filled with coconut, cream cheese and white chocolate and topped with a creamy chocolate frosting.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cupcake pans with 16 paper liners, spray tops of pans lightly with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Place butter and chocolate chips in a small bowl. Microwave on 30 second bursts until butter has melted (make sure to stir between bursts). Stir mixture until residual heat from the butter has melted chocolate chips completely. Stir in coconut butter to melt it. Pour melted mixture into a larger bowl and whip with the granulated sugar until combined. Stir in eggs and vanilla.
Sift cocoa, salt, baking soda and flour. Slowly stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until barely incorporated. Carefully fold in sour cream and milk. Batter will be thick. Drop by the tablespoon into prepared pans until each is 3/4 full. Bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
To make the filling, melt white chocolate chips in a small bowl. Microwave on 30 second bursts until chips have melted (make sure to stir between bursts). Once chocolate is melted thoroughly, whip with cream cheese and then stir in coconut.
Once cupcakes are cooled completely, scoop a small hole out of the top of cake (about 3/4 inch in diameter and 1/2 inch deep). Spoon coconut filling evenly into the small holes. Set aside.
For the frosting, whip butter, cocoa, vanilla and powdered sugar together. While mixer is on low speed, stream in milk. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl and whip on high speed for 2 minutes. Carefully fold in whipped cream.
Frost cooled cupcakes with about 1 heaping tablespoon of frosting. Once all cupcakes are frosted, top with toasted coconut.
Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
