Wow. I am so excited about sharing this recipe for German Chocolate Cupcakes with you guys. This is easily one of the best desserts that I’ve ever made. And, it’s paleo-friendly and gluten-free. You have my brother, Rishi, to thank for these incredibly rich and chocolatey cupcakes topped with a caramel flavored pecan and coconut frosting. Rishi’s birthday is this upcoming weekend (April 11th) and so when I asked him what type of cake he wanted me to bake for his birthday, he said: German Chocolate Cake. I never expected my recipe to be so spot on… and so darn delicious. See the guy below with glitter in his hair? That’s Rishi, the little bro. He’s handsome (we obviously have the same genes), ridiculously smart (I somehow missed out on those genes…) and very talented. I know I’ve talked about Rishi several times before, but this time I want to tell you a little more about him because he’s such an important person in my life. I’m just so proud of him… for so many reasons. For those of you who listen to podcasts, he has a really popular podcast on itunes. It’s all about how to get started in investing, so if you’re interested in learning more about this subject – or know someone who is, definitely share his website/podcast with your family and friends. I know that Rishi is going to love these cupcakes. Well, technically I already ate these cupcakes… but I know he’s going to the love the cupcakes and/or cake that I make for him this weekend. I also know that if you make these cupcakes, you will absolutely love them too. Like this recipe? Pin it to your favorite Pinterest board now so you will remember to make it later!
