Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine coconut flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda.
• In a large bowl, blend together eggs, oil and agave.
• Blend dry ingredients into wet thoroughly.
• Line a cupcake tin with paper liners and scoop a scant 1/4 cup into each.
• Bake at 375° for 20-22 minutes.
• Cool and cover with vegan "buttercream" chocolate frosting (http://www.elanaspantry.com/vegan-chocolate-frosting/).
• Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and position a rack in the middle of the oven. Line one 12-cup standard muffin tin or two 24-cup mini-muffin tins with cupcake liners.
• Combine the butter, cocoa, coffee and 1/3 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high until the butter melts, about 1 minute. Whisk to combine.
• Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, rice flour, amaranth flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Beat the sour cream, vanilla and eggs in a small bowl. Whisk the hot cocoa mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir in the sour cream mixture just to combine (don't overmix).
• Divide the batter evenly in the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, about 30 minutes (18 to 20 minutes for minis).
• Cool the cupcakes on a rack in the tin for 10 minutes, and then remove from the tin. Cool on the rack completely. Decorate as desired.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine first four ingredients.
• Add chocolate chips and set aside.
• Mix remaining ingredients well.
• Fill muffin tins, lined with paper cups 1/3 to 1/2 full with this mixture.
• Drop a large spoonful of cheese mixture on top.
• Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190C(Gas 5/375F). Line the cupcake tin with cupcake cases.
• Place the butter and sugar into a bowl, Whisk until pale and fluffy.
• Add the eggs one at a time, Add a little flour after each one. When combined add the vanilla and the cocoa powder, stir until combined.
• Divide up into the cupcake cases, Bake for 20 minutes until golden and risen.
• When cool make the icing, place the butter and the icing sugar into a bowl, mix together with the back of a spoon until soft and light.
• Place the icing into a piping bag and decorate the cupcakes.

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 200.c and line a muffin tin with 12 paper cases.
• Add the cacao power and water to a large mixing bowl and stir to a thick paste.
• Add the butter, sugar, flour, baking power and eggs to the bowl and whisk together using an electric whisk until light and fluffy.
• Divide the mixture between your 12 paper cases and bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until well risen and springy to the touch. A skewer inserted into one of the cakes should also come out clean once they are fully cooked.
• Remove from the tins, and cool in their cases on a wire rack.
• Meanwhile, make your chocolate icing by mixing together the melted chocolate, butter, icing sugar and mascarpone in a food processor (this stops the icing sugar covering you and your kitchen but you could also whisk or beat with a wooden spoon) until well combined.
• Once the cakes are cool, spread the chocolate butter icing mixture over the 12 cupcakes and top with your chosen sprinkles. Enjoy!
