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.
