Ingredients

155 grams Gluten Free Flour

10 grams gluten free cornstarch

40 grams unsweetened cocoa powder

200 grams white granulated sugar

1 teaspoon instant espresso (optional)

1 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs, at room temperature

75 grams neutral vegetable oil

140 grams water, hot - not boiling

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Prepare your pan of choice - line one muffin tray with 12 muffin cups or line an 8" or 9" round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, cornstarch, cocoa, instant espresso (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4

In a separate bowl combine eggs, oil and granulated white sugar. Whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and with a whisk to combine. Add the hot (not boiling) water and whisk until it is a smooth batter.

Step 6

Use a large cookie scoop (#20 - the yellow one) and divide the batter between the cupcake liners.

Step 7

Bake the cupcakes until the center feels firm when gently pressed, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, around 20-22 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Frost the cooled cupcakes with your favorite buttercream and enjoy!
