- Combine the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the coconut milk and vanilla in another
- In a third, large bowl, cream the Earth Balance until fluffy, then add the sugar and xylitol and beat until smooth and fluffy
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly between additions
- Start with dry and end with dry. That is, add 1/3 cup of the dry ingredients and beat until incorporated. Then add 1/2 of the coconut milk and repeat until all ingredients are blended
- Fill into 18 cupcake tins
- Bake for 23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean
- Cool completely before glazing
- Now, I learned through this recipe that there is, indeed, a difference between coconut cream and cream of coconut. I was thinking that I had bought coconut cream, which is essentially a thicker coconut milk, with a higher fat content. When in fact I had bought cream of coconut, which is a gel-like liquid thatâs been sweetened with sugar. Not having time to go out and correct my mistake before guests came over, and recognizing that this was simply another dusty opportunity, I blended the ingredients together to produce a delightfully thick glaze. Now, this is not a frosting I, as a person who has hypoglycemia, will eat because it is all sugar (as frostings tend to be). But since the cakes were not particularly sweet, this was a perfect companion. And the coconut flavor came out that much more so in the glaze and therefore brought it out in the cakes.
