Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line muffin tin with paper or foil liners. (For a cake: grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans or one 9x13 inch pan.)
2) In large bowl combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the centre.
3) Add eggs, coffee, soured milk, oil and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Batter will be thin. Pour into prepared pans.
4) Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20-22 minutes (for cakes: 30 to 40 minutes), or until toothpick inserted into centre of cake comes out clean.
5) Remove from tins and cool on a wire rack. When completely cool, frost as desired.


NOTES:

Instead of rice flour, you can use a gluten-free flour blend or regular all-purpose flour (this won't be GF!), with no other changes or substitutions.

I frosted my cupcakes with my Strawberry Buttercream Icing, and they paired beautifully together!
