A place where you can have your cake and eat it too because it's gluten free!
CUPCAKES:
1 1/2 C Great Value all-purpose GF flour*
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 C unsalted butter, softened
3 egg whites
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1/2 C sour cream
1/2 C buttermilk (½ C milk + ½ Tbsp. vinegar)
FROSTING:
1 C butter
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. vanilla
3-5 C powder sugar
Directions:
Cupcakes
Preheat your oven to 350 ˚F
Cream the butter and sugar on medium-high in a standing-mixer bowl. Add in the egg whites and mix until combined. Add the vanilla and mix until combined. In a separate bowl, combine the GF flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; whisk to combine.
Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the wets, mix until fully incorporated, and switch to the buttermilk; alternate back and forth until you have combined all the flour and buttermilk into the wet mixture (don’t worry if there are small butter globs). Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix the batter on medium for 30 seconds.
Finally, add the sour cream and mix on low until it is incorporated.
Prepare a cupcake tin with cupcake liners and a mist of non-stick spray, if desired.
Using a scoop of your choice, measure out the cupcakes, evenly. This single recipe makes roughly 16-20 cupcakes, depending on how much you fill each cupcake; I aim to fill each to about half-way. Tap the air out and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops bounce back when lightly poked.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
While the cupcakes are cooling, make your frosting. Combine the butter, vanilla, salt, and 1 cup of powdered sugar and mix on low. Once the powdered sugar has combined, scrape the bowl and add more powdered sugar to desired consistency, ½ cup at a time. If your frosting becomes too thick, you can always add 1-2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream to help soften the frosting.
Once the cupcakes have cooled, pipe the frosting on top with your favorite piping tip. ENJOY!
