Instructions
1. To a mixing bowl, add coconut whipping cream, cane sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip with hand-mixer until soft peaks form.2. Transfer to fridge. If you have time, leave it in the fridge overnight as it will be easier to pipe.
3. Preheat oven to 350F.
4. To a separate mixing bowl, sift gluten-free baking flour, coconut sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and clove. Whisk until mixed.
5. Add orange zest, grated carrots, coconut oil, applesauce, macadamia nut milk, and macadamia nut pulp (make sure the pulp has been dried properly, as this is key to using it for baked desserts).
6. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and pour cupcake batter into the liners.
7. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes, or until golden.
8. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. When ready to serve, pipe coconut frosting and enjoy!
