Preparations
- For cupcakes, preheat oven to 375 °F and grease muffin tins or line with large paper cups. Stir Delinut cashew butter before measuring to re-incorporate nut oils. Beat Delinut cashew butter and butter together until light and fluffy. Beat in brown sugar, and then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt (add cocoa if using). Add flour alternately with milk and Delinut cashew nuts (add espresso to the milk before adding to butter/cashew mixture), stirring after each addition just until incorporated. Spoon batter into paper cups and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, when a tester inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Allow to cool before frosting.
