"i used jnichols tinkering for frosting...and made the frosting a lot more boozy (more than 1/2cup i couldn't taste the champagne and the crowd who will taste them will be sans kids.

as for the actual recipe....i pureed closer to 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries. i couldnt find raspberry extract in atlanta (go figure and instead added a tiny amount of strawberry extract. i also took the suggestion to use heavy cream down below.

they came out delicious...but not fluffy. maybe it was because of the cream or because of the heavy puree....maybe i could have filled fewer cups but higher. either way....i would make them again in a heartbeat.

"slight confession: while i stuck with the original recipe for the cake, i veered slightly for the frosting.

the cake itself, is awesome (and i normally am NOT a chocolate fan). it is moist and fluffy! for those fearing the coconut milk, don't. you can't taste it in the final, baked product (though you can taste it in the batter). i used canned because- frankly- i'm bringing these to a party for people i dont know well and didn't want to throw down a ton of money for fresh coconut milk. i would used canned again because theyre delicious.

i also added chopped strawberries to the frosting- for funsies. so while i can't speak to the frosting, the cake will win over non-vegans and make vegans swoon. "
