About the bake
Wonderfully easy to bake, our gluten free cupcake recipe can be adapted to create a range of great tasting treats. Try adding chocolate chips, flavoured icing or toppings with delicious buttercream.
Method
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 180° (160°C fan, gas mark 4). Line a cupcake tray with 12 paper cupcake cases.
Step 2:
Cream the butter and sugar together with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time.
Step 3:
Add the flour and mix lightly until well combined and then divide the mixture between the cupcake cases.
Step 4:
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and just firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Step 5:
To make the buttercream, beat together the butter and icing sugar in an electric mixer, until smooth. Add a few drops of vanilla extract for flavour, and a splash of milk if needed to loosen the icing. Fill a piping bag, fitted with a star nozzle with your buttercream and pipe onto your cupcakes to finish.
