Mix until batter casts out big, beautiful, folding waves, about 1 1/2 minutes. Fold in shredded coconut.

GLUTEN FREE COCONUT FLOUR CUPCAKES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 8 muffin cups with paper or silicone liners In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt until blended. Whisk in the eggs, agave nectar, oil, milk, and vanilla until completely blended and smooth. Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups. Bake in preheated oven for 22 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer baking tin to wire rack and cool 10 minutes. Carefully remove the cupcakes from the tin and place on wire rack; cool completely. At this point you can sprinkle with coconut flour or continue on with making the delicious frosting. Bring the butter, cream, agave and vanilla to a boil over medium-high heat; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the guar gum by lightly sprinkling it over the surface and quickly whisking it in a little at a time. Chill well for several hours or overnight. It should become very thick and stiff. Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Store your frosted cake in the refrigerator. The frosting will have a buttercream-like consistency as long as it's kept cold. http://www.not-too-sweet.com/gluten-free-coconut-flour-cupcakes/
