    Coconut OilCocoa Powder

  3. 3

    In a deep pan, pour in salt to cover the base, and let it preheat on a medium flame for 10 minutes. Add something to provide some height so the baking vessel isn't directly touching the salt. Place the baking vessel into the pre heated pan, cover and let it cook on a low medium flame for 15 - 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Using a knife or a spoon, gently go around the edges to release the cupcake from the vessel. It should come out smoothly. Serve and enjoy warm!
