Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes image

These little cups of deliciousness have been a big hit in my house - I made them 3 weeks ago and have had requests for them every weekend since! You can mix and match the toppings, I had some chocolate sprinkles for these ones, but subsequent times I have just grated chocolate over which is equally as nice. www.simplybeglutenfree.co.uk

Steps:

  • Pre-heat your oven to 200.c and line a muffin tin with 12 paper cases.
  • Add the cacao power and water to a large mixing bowl and stir to a thick paste.
  • Add the butter, sugar, flour, baking power and eggs to the bowl and whisk together using an electric whisk until light and fluffy.
  • Divide the mixture between your 12 paper cases and bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until well risen and springy to the touch. A skewer inserted into one of the cakes should also come out clean once they are fully cooked.
  • Remove from the tins, and cool in their cases on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, make your chocolate icing by mixing together the melted chocolate, butter, icing sugar and mascarpone in a food processor (this stops the icing sugar covering you and your kitchen but you could also whisk or beat with a wooden spoon) until well combined.
  • Once the cakes are cool, spread the chocolate butter icing mixture over the 12 cupcakes and top with your chosen sprinkles. Enjoy!
