My boyfriend’s favorite birthday cake is yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Straight up. I decided I should try and find a paleo friendly way for him to still enjoy his classic treat and this one literally takes the cake. Simply pour batter into a lined-muffin pan to make cupcakes instead of a cake! For those non-chocolate lovers out there (why?!), there’s a scrumptious vanilla frosting recipe option for you…or even better, use both! Be sure to sprinkle any additional dark chocolate chips you have left on top of your cake!
