\"Paleo<\/a><\/p>\n

Today is Ellen’s birthday, everyone! Ellen’s birthday always brings a challenge to my plate, somehow more than others, and for that, I am so grateful! Each year we try to outdo ourselves, from the Rose Cake of 2011<\/a> to the Flapper Cake of 2012<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year, since Ellen has changed her diet to be paleo, I knew that it might be a challenge. So I asked her if she wanted anything specific, and she said anything would do, so I decided to trust one of my favorite special diet bloggers, Elana<\/a>, in a recipe I was sure would make everyone happy.<\/p>\n

Oven Temperature:<\/strong> 350
\nPrep Time:<\/strong> 20 minutes
\nCook Time:<\/strong> 16 minutes<\/p>\n

\u00bc cup coconut flour<\/strong>
\n\u00bc cup cacao powder<\/strong>
\n\u00bc teaspoon sea salt<\/strong>
\n\u00bc teaspoon baking soda<\/strong>
\n4 large eggs<\/strong>
\n\u00bc cup coconut oil<\/strong>
\n1\/3 cup honey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frosting:<\/p>\n

1 cup dark chocolate chips<\/strong>
\n1\/3 cup coconut oil<\/strong>
\n1 tbsp vanilla<\/strong><\/p>\n

Combine dry ingredients in your food processor, then add your wet ingredients. Scoop into lined muffin tin. Bake for 16 minutes at 350.<\/p>\n

I used Elana’s recipe for frosting, too, but it ended up more like ganache, which wasn’t a bad thing. I poured it over the cupcakes, and I ended up with extra frosting – I bet you could half this and still have enough.<\/p>\n

The cupcakes were good, not too sweet, but I do wish there had been more – this recipe only makes 8 (exactly) so if you want more, you’re going to have to double it. That said, 8 was enough for our needs!<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday, little one, and I hope these paleo cupcakes made you smile! We love you, and are so glad you’ve been helping out with the blog for years and years!<\/p>\n
