Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour the mini bunny cake pan or use a baking spray that contains flour. Make sure you grease all the nooks and crannies.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl and set aside.
Combine the sugar, coconut oil, and butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium high speed for 3 to 5 minutes until light in color and well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition. Beat in the coconut extract and vanilla extract.
Add half of the flour mixture and beat just until combined. Beat in the coconut milk then fold in the rest of the flour mixture. Fold in the shredded coconut.
Pour the batter into the cake pan, filling each mold a little more than ¾ full. You should have enough batter left over for 1 to 2 cupcakes. Place the cakelette pan on a baking sheet just in case the batter overflows if you fill the forms a bit too much.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 8 to 10 minutes. If any of the batter mounded over the top of the cake forms, use a serrated knife to level it off. Invert the pan on a rack to cool completely. I find the pan will release easier if it sits for 5 minutes before lifting it off the cake forms.
Coconut Icing
Combine the powdered sugar, coconut extract, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons of coconut milk until smooth. Add additional milk until you reach your desired consistency.
If you want to add color to the icing, color a few tablespoons of icing with a couple of drops of food coloring. I used bubblegum pink for the ears and blue for the eyes.
