I like to sneak vegetables into my baked goods and I usually add them in a pureed form. Today I was going to make carrot muffins but then realised I had parsnips to use up so I sacrificed one that would have ended up in a roasting tin tonight to make some spiced cupcakes. Delicious!

Cooking Instructions

25 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350F and line a 12 hole cupcake tin or an 8" round cake tin

  2. 2

    Mix the coconut milk and lemon juice together in a mixing bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to sour. Alternatively use yogurt

  3. 3

    Add in the sugar, pineapple, oil, vanilla and spices and mix together well. Make sure your pineapple is squeezed dey or your cakes might sink in the middle

  4. 4

    Mix the flour, baking powder, bicarb and xanthan gum together then stir into the wet mixture

  5. 5

    Stir in the grated parsnip and raisins

  6. 6

    Pour into the cupcake liners or cake tin and bake for 20 minutes for cupcakes or 30 minutes for the 8" layer or until golden. A toothpick test will work to check if they're done

  7. 7

    Remove from the tin and let cool on a wire rack then ice with vanilla buttercream or cream cheese frosting. I only had muffin liners and should have only made 8 and baked for 35 minutes so they filled the liners.....next time!

  8. 8

    Recipe can easily be doubled to make a 2 layer cake

I loooooove parsnips, but they unfortunately don't grow them here in Japan :( These look amazing though!
