Chocolate cupcakes

Ingredients

½ cup Coconut Flour
½ cup Cocoa powder
4 Tbsp Cocoa powder
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Baking Powder
6 Large Eggs
1 & 2/3 cup Raw Honey
1 ¼ cup Butter
12 Cupcake Liners

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180C.

  2. Combine ½ cup of Coconut Flour, ½ cup of Cocoa, ½ tsp of  Salt, ½ tsp of Baking Powder and mix well.

  3. Melt ¼ cup of Butter over low heat.

  4. Mix the Eggs, 1 cup of Honey and Melted Butter together.

  5. Combine the two mixtures and mix for at least a minute or more, until smooth without clumps (coconut flour expands as it takes in moisture, so it is good to give it a little time).

  6. Fill each cupcake liner ½ way up.

  7. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
    Cool the cupcakes before applying frosting.

Chocolate Buttercream Frosting:

  1. Combine 1 cup of Butter (softened to room temp), 2/3 cup of Honey and 4 Tbs of Cocoa in a mixer and blend until smooth and pliable enough to go into a pastry bag for piping.

Refrigerate.
