Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 c All Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 c Sugar
  • ½ c Vegan Margarine at room temperature
  • 3/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 large Eggs OR vegan Egg-Replacer Equivalent
  • ½ c Canned Coconut Milk
  • ½ c Sweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 3 tbsp Vegan Margarine at room temperature
  • 2 oz Vegan Cream Cheese at room temperature
  • 1 ½ c Confectioner’s Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Canned Coconut Milk
  • 2 tbsp Sweetened Shredded Coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°Line muffin pans with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the sugar and vegan margarine until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Then, add vanilla extract and your egg replacer of choice.
  • With the mixer on low speed, alternate the flour mixture with the coconut milk. Stir in the shredded coconut and fill the cupcake papers about ¾ full.
  • Bake for 20 to 23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool the cupcakes in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  • Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the powdered sugar until combined. Finally, add the vanilla and enough coconut milk to create a fluffy frosting.
