notes
This makes about 9 cupcakes, I just make sure the cupcake cases are about 3/4 full before baking.
My friends Daniel and Becky made this in a loaf tin, with the following adjustments:
- dessicated coconut instead of the coconut flour… with a teeny bit of spelt flour
- loads of maca, about 3 the amount of raw cacao
- melted raw coconut oil on top…mmmm
