Line 36 cupcake cups with paper liners. Beat sugar and butter together in the bowl of an electric stand mixer until fluffy, about 10 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, adding coconut extract and vanilla extract with the last egg. Combine flour, 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and nutmeg in another bowl.
