I think I might have found my most favorite frosting recipe ever! Magic happens when you mix up the butter, sugar, and chocolate hazelnut spread! Let’s just hope you have some frosting left for your cake after you whip it up.. The frosting is perfect to pipe on to your cupcakes because its super light and fluffy but it holds its shape well.. The cupcakes themselves are paleo/ gluten-free and coconut flour is very dry which requires extra liquid to make up for it. I do not recommend swapping out for any other flours as coconut reacts very differently compared to other flours.
