Mini Pumpkin Cakes With Coconut Glaze
Ingredients
Cake
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup fair trade brown sugar
- 1/3 cup coconut oil in melted state
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tbsp molasses
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp allspice
- 3/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- pinch salt optional and to taste
- 1 cup plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
Icing
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 tbsp coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375F.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients through optional salt, and whisk to combine. Using room temp milk will prevent coconut oil from re-solidifying, but if it does, a few small white clumps are okay.
-
Stir in the flour and baking powder until just combined, don’t overmix. Batter is quite thick.
-
Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
-
Bake for about 27 minutes, or until center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter.
-
Allow cake to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes, While cake cools, make the frosting.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, coconut oil, milk and vanilla extract.
-
Turn frosting out onto cooled cake, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
