Gluteeniton suklaa kuppikakku / Gluten free Chocolate-Orange Cupcakes

It's really annoying at work when it's coffee time and they bring out the buns... When you can't eat wheat you just sit there and watch everyone else enjoy their treats. Yesterday was a day like this, so when I got home, I decided to make chocolate-orange cupcakes. The decision was purely based on what I had at home, since I didn't want to go to the store :) This recipe makes 11-12 cupcakes, and feel free to double the recipe if in need.. It works just as well with regular wheat flour, but perhaps make sure you check your amount of liquid. Add slowly, gluten free flour can be thicker..

Recipe

  75grams butter

  1 dl sugar

  2,5dl Semper Mix gluten free flour

  1tl  baking powder

2 tbsp cocoa powder

1 dl Orange juice (freshly squeezed)

  1 egg

orange zest(from 1/2 orange)

Begin by mixing the butter and sugar together with an electric whisk. Add the egg and mix it in, use a regular whisk. In a separate bowl mix flour,  cocoa powder and baking powder together. Add this to the butter, sugar, egg mix. Stir it together. Add the orange juice and the zest and keep stiring.

Finally, with the help of a spoon, fill your cupcake forms up to half with the batter. Put them in 220C for about 10min, until theu look like in the picture below. Take them out of the oven and let them cool down.

While the cupcakes are in the oven you can make the frosting.

Frosting

1 pack of Philadelphia Cheese

50grams butter (room temp.)

Powdered sugar to taste (0,5dl)
Vanilla flavor

1-2 tbs cocoa powder

I just simply add all ingredients together and mix them with a bamix or electric whisk. In this frosting I use cocoa powder, so keep tasting and perhaps add a little more sugar. Cocoa powder is bitter, so that needs to be balanced out. Once the cupcakes have cooled down, use a pastry bag or ziplock bag to frost them. Enjoy!
