Ingredients
  

For the Cupcakes
  • 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
  • 2/3 cup Granulated Erythritol
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 1/3 cup Butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
For the Buttercream
  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Erythritol
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Heavy Cream

Equipment

  • muffin tin
  • piping bag

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until a smooth batter forms. Let it rest for 2 minutes.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among 10 of the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Make the buttercream by beating the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and heavy cream.
  7. Beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. If the frosting is too soft, refrigerate it for 10 minutes.
  8. Pipe or spread the buttercream generously onto the fully cooled cupcakes. Refrigerate any leftovers.
