Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes
One of the best beverages made into a delicious handheld cup of cake. Also this one is sure to please a crowd of any age. What makes it special is we’ve combined a fresh lemony cake with a yummy strawberry frosting in a nut-free, dairy-free and grain-free batch of goodness! And no added colors! Look at that frosting! So perfectly strawberry pink. Because we use freeze-dried strawberries, it not only packs in fresh strawberry flavor, but also provides that brilliant color without anything artificial!

Lemon Cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a muffin pan with papers. Spray a bit of olive or avocado oil on the papers so the muffins don’t stick!
- In a mixing bowl, sift together the coconut flour, baking soda, salt. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, blend together the eggs, oil, honey and vanilla. Once combined, gently add in the flour mixture and continue until all flour is mixed in.
- Fold in lemon juice and zest.
- Spoon the batter into the greased muffin tins, filling about ¾ of the way. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack before frosting.
Strawberry Frosting:
- Place all of the freeze dried strawberries in a food processor. Pulverize into a fine powder, making sure there are no strawberry chunks left.
- Put the palm shortening, strawberry dust, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand mixer with a whisk attachment and beat at medium speed until well combined.
- Gently add in powdered sugar and beat at medium speed until smooth and increase to high speed until fluffy.
- Frost cupcakes, or store in the fridge until ready to use.
