Date Chocolate Cupcakes w/ Date Chocolate Frosting

The cupcakes were hard, next time I shouldn't could them as long... The frosting was awesome!  It would have been Whole Food Plant Based, if I didn't add powdered sugar because my sweet tooth isn't satisfied with dates.

Cake:

• 1 cup medjool dates.
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup cacao powder
• 1 TBSP baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup non-dairy milk

Frosting

• 1 cup medjool dates
• 1/2-2/3 cup non-dairy milk
• 1/2 cup nut butter
• 1/4 cup cacao powder
• pinch of salt

1.  Mix all the cake ingredients in a food processor until smooth.  Don't cook too long!  Watch closely.  Cool completely.

2.  Mix all the frosting ingredients in a food processor until smooth.  Frost cupcakes when cooled.

Note: It made 7 cupcakes, but enough frosting for 10.  Therefore I have listed the nutrition for the cupcakes and the frosting separately.  Also, I might make the frosting again, but I'm not sure about the cupcakes.
