- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a muffin pan with parchment paper liners.
- In a blender combine all ingredients for cupcakes until smooth.
- Fill each muffin pan 3/4 way full. Note: I use a large bakery style muffin pan, which produces 6 large cupcakes. If you use a regular muffin pan- bake for less time (about 20-25 minutes on 350F or until a knife when inserted comes out clean). I bake the large bakery style cupcakes on 350F for 30 minutes.
- In a double boiler melt ingredients for frosting and whisk until smooth. Transfer frosting to fridge or freezer for 15-30 minutes then whip until it reaches a fluffy spreadable consistency. If the frosting becomes too hard, use a hair dryer and whisk while heating until it becomes spreadable again.
- Frost cupcakes. Optional: top with natural sprinkles or mini chocolate chips.

Ingredients Cake- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup full fat canned coconut milk
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line the bottom of a 5" by 8" pan (I used a casserole dish, you could use a different size, just watch the cooking time) with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients for the cake batter until smooth, then pour into the cake pan, and bake on 350F for 25-35 minutes (you will know the cake is done when a knife inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean). Allow cake to cool before frosting.
- Heat the coconut milk for the frosting in a small saucepan over medium heat on the stove until warm, but not boiling. Then take it off the heat and add chocolate chips. Let the chocolate chips soak in the coconut milk until melted then stir until combined. Add salt and whisk. Place frosting into the fridge, stir on occasion, and let it chill until the frosting becomes semi-stiff, but still creamy and spreadable (about 1/2 hour).
- Once the frosting is formed, spread over the cake, slice, and serve. You can make chocolate shavings for decor by melting chocolate chips, spreading the melted chocolate over the back of a baking tray, cooling in the freezer for about 4 minutes, then scraping off into spirals with a large metal spatula.
