Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cups sugar
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
4 large egg whites
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cups buttermilk
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup coconut milk
3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
toasted sweetened shredded coconut

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and grease a 12-cup muffin pan with some of the butter.
Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until creamy, then beat in the vanilla and egg whites.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl, then mix them into the batter with the buttermilk.
Divide the batter among the muffin cups and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool the cupcakes for 10 minutes, poke each one several times, and pour over the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and coconut milk.
Whip the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar, toast the coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, and top the cooled cupcakes.
