Gluten-free almond and elderflower cupcakes
Background
I made these gluten- free almond and elderflower cupcakes for a garden party where some of guests had dairy and gluten allergy. I used Dove’s gluten-free flour mixture which I generally like. The cupcakes were yummy and not to sweet (my home-made elderflower cordial is not full of sugar) but the next day they were quite hard. Next time I'll try a different flour combo or mix my own.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tbsp elderflower cordial
- Grated Zest of 1 lemon
- ½ cup ground almonds
- 1.5 cup gluten-free flour
- 2 Tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 Tbsp soft butter/dairy-free spread, melted
- ½ cup almond milk
- 3 Tbsp almond flakes
- For the glaze:
- 2 Tbsp elderflower cordial
- 2 Tbsp icing sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a muffin pan with paper cases or put some silicon cases on a baking sheet.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the cordial and lemon zest.
- In a bigger bowl, mix together the almond meal, flour, sugar and baking powder. Make a well in the middle and add the egg mixture. Whisk until combined, then add the butter/spread, and finally the milk. Combine into a smooth batter.
- Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups then put the tin in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile mix the glaze.
- Move the cupcakes to a wire rack and brush them with the glaze.
- Let them cool completely before serving.
