Cave man cupcakes recipe

A Diary entry of a cavewoman found in a cove somewhere in the south of france has been discovered and decrypted. The following is what was revealed.




"So after discovering fire last week, Jeff has took it upon himself to make me an area when I can make all our meals, he has called it the 'kitchen'. I told Barbra about this and she was quite jealous, her husband Derek has not done much at all since he did his back in carrying a cow back from the grassy verge over the hill. 
Anyways, I have to admit our cave does look rather fancy with this new area. The best thing about it is that Jeff has made some kind of invention that the flames go inside, it browns and warms anything you put in there. Amazing!! 
I decided to chuck a few ingredients in a bowl and make an invention myself. The end product is very tasty. I call them cupcakes, I took a few over for Barb and Del, they enjoyed them so much.


Here is the recipe for anyone else who moves into this cave after we move on:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour/ground almond
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons almond oil or coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 cups carrots, finely chopped (Mashed up with a big stone)
  • 1/2 cup of dried fruit, cherrys, raisins, dates etc

Get two bowls, in one add all the dry ingredients, in the other add the maple syrup, oil, eggs, carrot and dried fruit. mix them both up separately, then add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. then put in cupcake cases or whatever you have lying about in your cave. Cook in the preheated 'oven' for around 20 minutes or until the cupcakes are no longer wet inside. Leave to cool and enjoy.  



I have a feeling that Jeff will be making me spend a lot of time in this 'Kitchen' area... he just asked me to stop drawing on the wall and go make him a sandwich!! A cavewoman's work is never done!" 


Me and Sheri decided to make these cupcakes today. They have come out so well and taste amazing, a little like christmas. 


Adding a drizzle of icing sugar mixed with either water or coconut oil makes them taste a little sweeter. It seems this cavewoman was the Delia of her time!! Try it out paleo friends!
