My kiddos saw pink lemonade cupcakes at the store and begged me to make some gluten free.  So I whipped out my magic wand and a very delicious moist cupcake appeared!”

 

• 1 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
• 1/2 cup butter softened
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup rice milk
• 1/2 lemon zest
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• 1/4 cup tapioca flour
• 1/2 cup potato starch
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon sea salt

INGREDIENTS FOR FROSTING

• 16 ounces powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup butter softened
• 1 Tablespoon rice milk

• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

DIRECTIONS

1.  Preheat oven @ 350 deg F.

2.  In a large bowl mix and cream sugar and butter together.  Add egg, rice milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla.  Mix well.

3.  In another bowl mix together brown rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt.

5.  Line cupcake tins into a cupcake pan.  Pour batter into each tin about 3/4 full.

Chef Notes:

*The longer you beat the frosting, the fluffier it gets.

*I like to use turbinado sugar in my baking, it helps to make a more moist cupcake.

*Use all natural food coloring without the bad colors.  You can find ones made out of natural vegetable juices.  Or make your own by cooking down and concentrating juice from a vegetable.  Beets make a great pink food coloring.
