Vanilla Coconut Snowball Cupcakes Recipe

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to beat the butter until it's creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl once or twice as you go.

Beat in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add 2 cups of confectioners' sugar and beat on low speed. Continue adding the remaining confectioners' sugar a little at a time until the frosting is thick enough to cling to the beater without dripping when lifted. If it becomes too stiff, add in a little more sour cream, a teaspoon at a time.

Once all the sugar is incorporated, beat for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on low speed to ensure a smooth, light, and fluffy frosting.
