Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes

After 12 years of being diagnosed Coeliac, I think this is my favourite recipe so far. They taste really good and it is a "chuck it all in and mix together" recipe!

CUPCAKES - makes 12.

Prep time, less than 10 minutes. Cooking time 18-20 minutes.

Please check your Coeliac UK Food Directory for suitable ingredients.

VANILLA:

150g (5oz) unsalted butter or margarine, softened (I use Stork margarine)

150g (5oz) caster sugar

175g (6oz) GF Flour
3 eggs

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

CHOCOLATE (as shown in picture):

Substitute 15g (1/2 oz) of GF cocoa powder for 15g (1/2 oz) of the GF Flour

• Line a 12 section bun tray with paper cake cases.
• Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat with a hand-held electric whisk for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is light and creamy.
• Divide evenly between the cake cases (I have to get this just right otherwise the mixture is just enough to spill over the edges of those cake cases I put a little too much in!)
• Bake in a preheated over at 180c (350f) (gas mark 4) for about 18-20 minutes, until firm to the touch (I always check mine by putting a skewer into the middle of some of the cakes, if it comes out clean - they are cooked)
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• When cold, decorate with GF butter icing and GF decorations.
