Instructions:

  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, 1/3 cup of canola oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk together until well blended.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of sugar, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir until thoroughly combined.

  5. Step 5: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Once cooled, remove a small portion from the center of each cupcake and fill with raspberry preserves.
  7. Step 7: To make the ganache, chop 8 ounces of chocolate and heat 1 cup of heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chocolate, let sit, then whisk until smooth.
  8. Step 8: Once ganache thickens, whip until fluffy and frost the cooled cupcakes.

  • Allow ganache to cool for perfect frosting consistency.
  • Trim the tops of cupcakes if too domed for even frosting.
