Number of Servings: 24

Ingredients

    DRY:
    1 3/4 cups brown rice flour
    1 1/2 cups white sugar
    3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt

    WET:
    2 eggs
    1 cup strong brewed coffee
    1 cup skim milk, soured with 1 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice
    1/2 cup vegetable oil
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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!

Serving Size: Makes 24 cupcakes (alternatively: one 9x13 sheet pan or two 9" round pans)
