Serving Size: 1 medium cupcake

Yield: 24 servings 

 

 

• 2 Tbsp (16g) cocoa powder

• 3/4 cup (170g) butter / coconut oil / ghee / any other solid fat​​

• 3/4 cup (90g)  coconut flour 

• 1 cup + 6 Tbsp (300g) powdered erythritol / xylitol / Swerve confectioner's sweetener

• 1 tsp salt (omit if using salted butter) 

• 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

• 2/3 cup (150g) xylitol / OR more powdered erythritol

• 1 cup (240ml) water / OR nut milk

• 9 large (490g) eggs (about 55g each)

• 2 tsp (10ml) red food coloring

• 1.5 cups (170g) almond flour / OR other nut flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• (optional) 1/2 tsp xanthan gum / OR 1 tsp guar gum

 

 

 

 

For the cream cheese frosting:

• 8oz (225g) cream cheese (1 American package, warm)

• 1/4 cup (56g) butter / coconut oil / ghee

• 1 cup (220g) powdered Swerve confectioner's sweetener

• 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

 

 

 

 

1. Preheat the oven to 350F/177C. Mix together the cocoa, sweeteners, salt, and vanilla until combined, then add the butter and melt in the microwave or over the stove until the sweeteners have dissolved and the butter is fully melted.

 

2. Mix in red food coloring, then the eggs. Sift together the remaining ingredients, then mix them into the liquid ingredients.

 

3. Prep enough cupcake tins to make 24 cupcakes. Either use cupcake liners, or coat the cupcake tins with a thin layer of butter, then dust with a thin layer of cocoa powder.

 

4. Scoop out the cupcake batter into the prepared cupcake tins, dividing the batter equally. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cupcake tops spring back when poked.

 

5. TO MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

Beat the warm cream cheese and warm butter together until soft and all lumps are gone, then slowly mix in the powdered sweetener in 3 batches until fully incorporated. Last, mix in the vanilla. Spread over the cupcakes.
