First, make frosting. Add chilled coconut cream (ONLY the hardened part on top, discard excess liquid), maple syrup and vanilla extract to a large stand mixer. Whip until light and fluffy. Place in fridge while making cupcakes.
Then, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
To make cupcakes, add all cupcake ingredients to a large mixing bowl or KitchenAid. Mix until combined.
Use a cookie scoop or large spoon to add batter to cupcake liners. Fill liners about 3/4 of the way to the top.
Next, bake cupcakes for 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove cupcakes from oven and let them cool on a cooling rack.
Once cupcakes are cooled, add frosting to a piping bag and pipe frosting on cupcakes. Alternatively, spread frosting on top with a knife.
Notes
Wait until cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting.
