Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or foil liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
-
Using a handheld electric mixer in a large bowl, beat the sugar with the eggs and vanilla extract at medium-high speed until smooth and thickened slightly. Add the butter and oil and beat until incorporated, scraping the bottom and side of the bowl.
-
Add the dry ingredients and milk in three alternating batches, beating well between additions. Carefully pour the batter into the lined muffin tins, filling them about two-thirds full.
-
Bake the cupcakes in the center of the oven for 20 to 23 minutes, until springy and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Let the cupcakes cool slightly in the muffin tin, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting:
-
Put the chopped chocolate in a heatproof medium bowl.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the cream with the butter, corn syrup, and salt until hot but not boiling. Immediately pour the mixture over the chocolate.
-
Let stand for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
-
Let the frosting cool for about 30 minutes, whisking occasionally, until thick enough for dipping and glazing the cupcakes. For a frosting firm enough to spread, let stand for 1 hour.
-
Frost the cooled cupcakes, top with the sweetened shredded coconut and mini nonpareil candies. Enjoy!
