Ingredients

12 servings

  • 1 ⅓ cups coconut cream
  • 4 cups icing sugar
  • 1 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • ⅔ cup almond milk
  • 1 ⅓ cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 ½ cups strawberry
  • ½ cup champagne, vegan-friendly, or sparkling wine

Instructions

  • Prepare the coconut cream by whipping the coconut cream and icing sugar together, until you form soft peaks.
  • Leave to chill in the fridge until set, for about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C (350˚F) and line a cupcake tray with 12 cases.
  • Make the cupcakes by mixing the coconut oil, maple syrup, and almond milk together.
  • Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Spoon into the cupcake cases.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and springy to the touch.
  • While the cakes are baking, make the strawberry champagne syrup by bringing the sugar, water, strawberries, and champagne to the boil in a saucepan over a medium-high heat.
  • Simmer until the syrup is slightly thicker and has changed colour to a deep red. Set aside.
  • Take the cakes out of the oven and leave to cool slightly for a couple of minutes.
  • Poke several holes in each one and pour about 2 teaspoons of the strawberry champagne syrup on top, so that it seeps into the holes and is glistening on top.
  • Spoon the coconut cream on top and garnish with a strawberry.
  • Enjoy!
