Can you believe Easter is right around the corner? I sure can’t! It seems like this year is flying by very very quickly.
When it comes to Easter dinner we always spend it with family friends and I am usually in charge of bringing the desserts. This year I thought it would be fun to make these delicious gluten free chocolate cupcakes topped with coconut marshmallow frosting!
- 1½ cups sugar
- 1½ cups coconut flour
- 1 cup (3 ounces) Dutch-process cocoa
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- ⅔ cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs (substitute 1 cup applesauce if egg free)
- 1⅓ cups water
- 2 teaspoons gluten-free vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line cupcake pan with paper liners (I like to double up).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, coconut flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Set aside.
- Place the oil, eggs (or applesauce), water, and vanilla into your mixer bowl, and beat well. Blend in the dry ingredients, adding 1 cup at a time. Beat for 1 minute, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl after each addition to ensure that it is well incorporated.
- Once all of the dry ingredients have been added, beat the batter at medium-high speed for 2 minutes, to make a smooth consistency. Scoop the batter into the prepared pans with a ¼ cup measuring cup or cookie scoop.
- Bake the cupcakes for 18 to 24 minutes, rotating the pans ½ way through the cooking time. Remove the cupcakes from the oven, and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Take them out of the pans to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once completely cool, spread a thin layer of marshmallow crème and sprinkle each cupcake with shredded coconut. Top with cupcake toppers and candy eggs.
- Yield: two 8" or 9" round layers or 24 cupcakes
For the Frosting:
- Marshmallow Crème (can use vegan substitute if egg or dairy free)
- Unsweetened shredded coconut
- Egg shaped candies
Once your have your cupakes completed why not add these adorable Easter cupcake toppers to them?
