GLUTEN FREE Tiramisu Cupcakes Recipe

So for those who did not know I am Gluten intolerant which is really not fun. Going out to places and seeing all the amazing cakes and cupcakes in the cake fridges is even worse...no wait... seeing a slice being taken to the persons table next to you is the worst. So i have decided it is time to stop drooling over the yummy cakes and cupcakes and to make some of my own (",)

You do not have to have a gluten problem to try this recipe out and you will probably find that it tastes better and lighter than cupcakes with gluten in.

The recipe is for 12 cupcakes, takes 10 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes in the oven (",)

Cupcakes Ingredients:

150g butter, softened
150g granulated sugar
75g rice flour
75g maize/cornflour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso
2 tablespoons milk
3 eggs, beaten

For the pretty part... The topping:

250g mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons icing
1 tablespoon marsala


Place all the cake ingredients in a food processor and whiz until smooth, or beat in a large bowl

Spoon the mixture into the paper cases and place in a preheated oven of 200'C and bake for 12-15 minutes until risen. Remove from the oven and place the cupcakes onto a wire rack to cool.

Place the topping ingredients in a bowl and beat together and smooth a little over each cupcake.

Now what is left is to invite some friends over and to ENJOY!!!
