A good sweet treat is a must every once in a while, and these Grain Free Vanilla Cupcakes are a must have. This recipe makes a dozen cupcakes, and these cupcakes are bursting with rich vanilla flavor in both the frosting and the cake.

To make these cupcakes you combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl you combine the eggs, sugar, butter, and Singing Dog Vanilla Bean Paste together. Then you combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and divide the mixture into the muffin tins and bake. When the cupcakes are baking you make the frosting. To make the frost you beat the butter for 2 minutes and then add the powdered sugar, Singing Dog Vanilla Bean Paste, salt, and cream. You mix this together until the mixture is consistent. Then you get to decorate the cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles anyway you like!
