Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tray with cupcake liners.

- In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Add coconut oil, vanilla extract, beet puree, and curdled milk mixture.
- Mix until smooth — no lumps, no stress.
- Divide batter evenly among liners, filling each two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20–22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool completely before frosting — patience, darling, it’s worth it.
For the Frosting:
- Whip chilled coconut cream with sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until fluffy.
