Gluten Free Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes Recipes

EASY GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Position rack in center of oven. Line two 12-serving cupcake pans with paper liners; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until there are no visible clumps.
• Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat with a mixer on medium speed for two minutes.
• Stir in boiling water.
• Spoon batter evenly into cupcake wells. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool on a rack.
• For the frosting: In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add cocoa powder and beat until combined. Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Slowly beat in milk. Beat in additional milk if needed, to obtain desired consistency.
• Frost cupcakes.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

GLUTEN-FREE RASPBERRY CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° degrees
• Wash and dry raspberries thoroughly
• Combine raspberries with sugar and gluten-free flour. Use a wooden spoon to gently combine.
• In a separate bowl, combine butter with gluten-free oats, brown sugar and gluten-free flour.
• Use a pastry cutter or fork to blend the butter into the dry ingredients. You will end up with small clusters of butter and oats. Ain't no harm in tasting a bite either!
• To assemble the jars, cover the bottom with oatmeal crumble in all four jars.
• Proceed to fill with the raspberry mixture. You can fill these jars right up to the top because they will compress when baked.
• Lastly, pile on the crumb mixture and don't be shy. You can gently press it into the raspberries.
• To bake these, I placed them on a cookie sheet with a baking mat to prevent them from sliding during transporting from the counter to the oven. If you don't have a baking mat, no worries, just use a little bit of caution. Do not bake these with the lid on.
• Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes on a rack placed in the middle of the oven. Bake until the crisp on top is golden brown.

GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• Cream shortening and sugar together in a bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
• Sift coconut flour, cacao powder, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Gradually add to the wet ingredients on low speed. Once incorporated, turn mixer to medium-high and beat until airy, about 1 minute.
• Use an ice cream scoop to fill the prepared muffin cups 3/4 full with batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan, and cook until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool completely, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whip jam in a small bowl until smooth and transfer to a piping bag. Insert the nozzle into the top of a cupcake and gently squeeze to fill with jam. Repeat with all cupcakes.
