Red Velvet Coconut Cupcakes

Red Velvet Cupcakes are by far my favorite. This recipe is so moist and the frosting, look out because you will want to lick the bowl clean. Its that good. Then to top it with the coconut brings the flavor to a new level. It is a perfect cupcake. These would be a great dessert for Valentines Day. But I make them all of the time, because they are so easy.
