- In a mixing bowl, mix the melted chocolate with the coconut cream until it’s silky smooth. Let it rest in the fridge for 45 mins.
- Now, it’s time to make the cupcakes. Line 2 cupcakes pan with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients: flour, protein powder, baking soda and powder, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together the sweet potatoe purée, coconut milk, aquafaba, vinegar, vanilla extract, and canola oil.
- Add the wet ingredient mixture with the dry ingredients, mix until well combined, do not overmix.
- Fill about two-thirds of the cupcake liners, bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Set aside to cooldown.
- To assemble, transfer the chilled chocolate frosting to a piping bag and pipe onto cupcakes. Enjoy!
