What you need:
Cupcake:
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
 - 1/2 tsp sea salt
 - 1/4 tsp baking soda
 - 6 eggs
 - 1/2 cup grapeseed oil (or EVOO but grapeseed is better!)
 - 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar
 - 1 tbsp vanilla extract
 
Chocolate Frosting:
- 1 cup of dark chocolate chips
 - 1/2 cup grapeseed oil (can use EVOO, but not coconut oil...frosting will melt too easily)
 - 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, honey, agave nectar
 - 1 tbsp vanilla extract
 - 1/4 cup almond milk
 - pinch of sea salt
 
What you do:
For cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
 - In a medium bowl, combine coconut flour, salt and baking soda
 - In a small bowl, combine eggs, oil, maple syrup and vanilla
 - Mix wet and dry ingredients and blend/mix together until smooth
 - Pour into muffin liners about 2/3 full (they won't rise a lot)
 - Bake for 16-18 minutes
 
- Chop dark chocolate up and place in a saucepan
 - Pour grapeseed oil and mix with chocolate
 - Heat over low heat until melted and blended
 - Stir in maple syrup, vanilla, and salt
 - When melted, transfer chocolate to a mixing bowl and let cool on counter for 10 minutes. After it's cooled a bit, place bowl in freezer for 15-20 minutes.
 - Use hand mixer to whip the frosting on high speed until smooth and creamy. Frosting will lighten in color.
 - If the frosting isn't whipping well, you may need to freeze it for longer.
 
**We are using the recipe for our son's smash cake. The pan we have (large cupcake pan) is huge so we are doubling the recipe. This recipe doubles perfectly!!
ETA: Finally snagged a photo...before decorated:

At what point do you add in the almond milk to the frosting?
ReplyDeleteYou can add the almond milk when you add the syrup. :)
