Are you a chocolate lover? Or does vanilla float your boat? I’m guessing vanilla since you’re reading this… I’m usually a chocolate gal myself, but I feel like certain occasions call for vanilla. Like… Easter or Mother’s Day or the Fourth of July. I have no idea why, but I feel like those are vanilla cake occasions. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are more chocolatey occasions in my mind. And Birthdays are a toss-up (I prefer chocolate, hubby prefers vanilla). Does anyone else get what I’m saying at all, or am I alone on Ashley Island over here? Just pretend like you know what I’m talking about, and we can eat cupcakes together on my island. And by “my island,” I mean my kitchen island… These paleo-friendly vanilla cupcakes are just as tasty as my chocolate cupcakes. They’re light, airy, moist, and decadent. The cake itself is sweet and buttery – so good, you won’t know they’re made with paleo-friendly ingredients. You can eat them plain or frost them with whipped coconut cream or a simple buttercream (buttercream is not paleo, though). If you go the whipped coconut cream route, then definitely top the cupcakes with berries (you can top the buttercream with berries too – but the frosting itself is so sweet that you won’t really notice the sweetness from the fruit.) One thing that’s pretty key to making these cupcakes: use parchment cupcake liners! Or silicone liners. These cupcakes – and most cupcakes using paleo-friendly flours – will stick to regular paper cupcake liners. Make these paleo vanilla cupcakes for a special occasion, a special person or any day that you want to make a little extra special. Like this recipe?
