Cake mix

  • 210 g of gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 70 g of honey
  • 190 g of caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 110 g of butter

Buttercream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven. Preheat to 180°C (160°C fan/ gas 4).
  • Mix the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, baking powder and caster sugar) in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly using a spatula/ an electric mixer.
  • Add the butter, honey, lemon juice and eggs to the mixing bowl. For the best results, use an electric mixer.
  • Place the cupcake cases into the baking tray. Then pour the mixture into each case. Allow the cases to fill about 70-80% of the case.
  • Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the cupcakes in the oven. The oven should already be preheated.
  • Check to see if the cupcakes are baked all the way through by putting a wooden pick/ cake tester into the middle of each. If the pick comes out clean, then they are fully baked through.
  • Take the cupcakes out of the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow the cupcakes for fully cool. For optimal results, leave the cupcakes to cool for about an hour.
  • In a mixing bowl, make the buttercream. Combine the butter, lemon juice and icing sugar. Use an electric mixer.
  • Frost the cupcakes with buttercream. If you have any gluten-free sprinkles, feel free to add them to the buttercream!
  • Enjoy! 😊 If you want to cut the cupcakes into butterfly style or leave them whole, it is up to you.
