This time gluten free cupcakes. It is another cake recipe I used to make lovely cupcakes. The recipe comes from this website. Those cupcakes were very nice, a little bit chewy with strong orange flavour. I found them very tasty. I decorated them with small amount of buttercream, which I used to stick piece of Terry's orange chocolate.
Ingredients for 24 cupcakes:
- 2 big oranges
- 5 eggs
- 250g sugar
- 200g ground almonds
- 1 tsp gluten free baking powder
Place the oranges in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to the boil and simmer, covered for 1 hour. The oranges have to be covered with water all the time. Drain the oranges and cool. THEY ARE VERY HOT. Cut them into smaller pieces, remove stones. Put the oranges into a blender and puree until smooth.
Preheat the oven to 170C. Line muffin tin with paper cases.
Put the eggs and sugar into electric mixer bowl and beat them until pale and thick. Add the almonds, baking powder and orange pure and mix well.
Spoon the batter into paper cases 2/3 full. Bake for 30 minutes, check after 20 minutes. They are ready when toothpick stick in the centre comes out clean.
Leave them for 20 min in a baking tin to cool down then transfer them to a wire rack.
While they cooling down you may prepare buttercream.
Ingredients for butter cream:
- 135g unsalted butter
- 100g icing sugar
In an electric mixer bowl put butter and beat until place and fluffy. Then gradually add icing sugar.
When cupcakes are cooled down place small amount of butter cream on the top of each and stick piece of Terry's orange chocolate.
Enjoy !
