Best Gluten Free Black Bottom Cupcakes Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE BLACK BOTTOM CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degree. Grease a full-size 12-cup muffin tin.
• To make the cream cheese filling, cream together the cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt until smooth in a standing mixer with a paddle attachment or by hand with a wooden spoon.
• Add the egg and continue to cream until light in color and as thick as sour cream. Fold in chocolate chips and set aside.
• To make the batter, combine the rice flour, tapioca starch, soy flour, 1 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar, coca powder, baking soda and ½ teaspoon salt in a mixing bowl.
• Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the water, oil, vinegar and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
• To fill the muffin tins, put one tablespoon batter into the bottom of each cup. Add a scoop of cream cheese filling on top of the batter, dividing the filling evenly. Distribute the rest of the chocolate batter on top. Muffin cups should be almost, but not completely, full.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until cupcakes hold their shape. Cool in the muffin tins for about 20 minutes before turning out and cooling on racks.

BLACK BOTTOM CUPCAKES (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Place paper liners in 16 to 18 muffin tins. Preheat the oven to 350°F with the top rack in the center. If your pans do not fit side-by-side in the oven, set the racks in the upper third and lower third of the oven.
• Make the Filling: In the bowl of your stand mixer or using a hand mixer on low speed, combine the cream cheese, egg, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy and the sugar is dissolved with no lumps of cream cheese. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside at room temperature.
• Prepare the Cupcakes: In the bowl of your stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt until fully combined. Next, using your stand mixer, a hand mixer, or mixing by hand, add the water, oil, and vanilla, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated. Scrape the bowl and beater and beat for another minute. The batter will be very thin. Pour the batter into a measuring cup with a spout for the easiest and cleanest filling of the cupcake liners.
• Fill each cupcake liner about 1/2 full. Place 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each cupcake. Bake cupcakes for 25 to 28 minutes or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the cupcake portion comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for a couple of minutes then carefully remove them from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
