What makes gluten free cupcakes so different is their lack of standard flour. However, they still need something to hold them together and make them “cake-like.” In this cupcake recipe, the flour substitutes of choice are rice flour and quinoa. They also contain layer of spiced apples (made from scratch by apples, rum, water, sugar and cinnamon) as well as eggs, butter and more sugar. After baking, top them with a penuche frosting and then serve!

Gluten Free Marble Cupcakes
Gluten Free Marble cupcakes are possibly the perfect comfort food for someone with a gluten food allergy. The orange extract is the secret ingredient that makes the chocolate flavor pop in the cake. The marble effect is achieved by adding the chocolate to only half the batter and then spooning it into the cupcake liners. The frosting is vanilla buttercream and chocolate buttercream placed on opposite sides of a frosting bag. They marble as they mix on exiting the bag. The result is delightful.

These treats are made from a gluten free cake mix, coconut extract, coconut milk, butter-flavored vegetable shortening, and eggs. When it comes to frosting them, you have two choices: gluten free whipped frosting with coconut extract mixed in, or frozen whipped topping mixed with finely chopped pineapple.
