Set the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and move on to make the frosting. Cream cream cheese, milk, vanilla and jasmine sambac together, add powdered sugar by quarter cups and mix until creamy, about 2 minutes. Set frosting in the refrigerator until the cupcakes are ready to frost. Mix together the sugar, eggs, whole fat milk, vanilla and jasmine sambac in mixing bowl, slowly add melted butter; mix well. Add baking powder and coconut flakes, and then mix in flour. Do not over mix the batter or your cupcakes will be tough! Mix about one minute. Pour batter into prepared cupcake tins (be sure to use cupcake paper cups) about 2/3’s full. Bake for 23 minutes. Remove from tin and cool. When the cupcakes are completely cool, dollop the cream cheese frosting on top. Makes 16-18 cupcakes
