Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a 12-cup cupcake tin with liners. Measure out
all ingredients before beginning. In a small bowl, combine the coconut milk and apple cider
vinegar. Mix together and set aside to curdle.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, use a whisk or hand mixer to mix together the melted vegan butter, honey,
dairy free yogurt, vanilla. Mix until completely combined. Then add in the flour and whisk the
flour and dairy free acv mixture into the batter just before it’s completely combined. Add in the
unsweetened shredded coconut, and fold or whisk just until evenly distributed throughout the
batter.
4. Divide the batter evenly into each cupcake liner, filling each cupcake about 2/3 of the way full.
Place the cupcake tin into the oven to bake for about 25-27 minutes, or until a toothpick
comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven.
5. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the cupcake tin for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling
rack to cool completely before making the vegan cream cheese frosting.
6. Add butter and cream cheese to a large bowl and beat together, fold in the honey until you
have a smooth frosting.
7. Spoon the vegan cream cheese frosting into a piping bag and frost each cupcake. Dip the
tops of each cupcake into the toasted coconut. Serve and enjoy!
