Equipment

  • Cupcake pans
  • Electric mixer

Ingredients

For the Cupcakes:

  • 3 Cup gluten free 1-1 flour mix with xanthan gum added (if it doesn't have xanthan gum, add 1 teaspoon xanthan gum)
  • 1/4 Cup coconut flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 Tsp salt
  • 1 Cup salted butter softened, at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 Cup white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 Cup milk
  • 1 1/2 Tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Cup fresh strawberries puréed

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 2 8 oz. cream cheese softened, room temperature
  • 1/2 Cup salted butter softened, room temperature
  • 2 Cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line two cupcake trays with paper liners then set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients for the cupcakes - the flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt - then set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until fluffy and a pale yellow color. While beating, add in the rest of the wet ingredients - the eggs, milk, vanilla, and puréed strawberries. When fully mixed, add in the dry ingredients mixture and stir until combined. Spoon batter into prepared cupcake pans – each cup should be about 2/3-3/4 full. Bake for 30 minutes in your preheated oven, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool completely before frosting.
  • While cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the room-temperature cream cheese and butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth.Scoop frosting into a piping bag and pipe onto cooled cupcakes, then serve!
