Purecane's baking sweeteners taste extremely similar to you normal sugars (if not the same). Plus, there is no weird after taste like other brands!

How to make gluten-free chocolate cupcakes?

Mix together the dry ingredients.

Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool, frosting, garnish, and enjoy!

Can I make ahead Gluten-Free Cupcakes?

Absolutely! Here are a few tips to ensuring you have a moist cupcake that'll last up to 3-4 days.

Do NOT over bake the cupcakes. Keeping the cupcakes in the oven, insert a toothpick into the center on one to check if done. I recommend checking at 20 minutes, and only baking in 1-2 minute intervals from there on out.
Let them COMPLETELY cool at ROOM temperature. This will keep the cupcakes moist.
Cover in an air-tight container, in a deep dish with Saran Wrap to seal, or in a cake storage container. You don't want them to dry out overnight.

‍

‍

Why do my gluten free cupcakes sink?

Don't worry, we've all been there! Thankfully, you won't have to worry about that happening here but for past recipes you may have tried...

If you find your cakes or cupcakes after baking sink, there's often one of three reasons why: (1) Over mixing the batter, (2) Too much liquid, (3) Too much leaving agents.

Also, a tip from one of my favorite cake bakers is to cream your eggs, sugar, and olive oil/butter for at least 5 minutes.

‍

‍

How to store cupcakes?

Let the cupcakes cool COMPLETELY.
Store the cooled cupcakes in a container with a tight-fitting lid, or wrap tightly with Saran Wrap.
Keep the container on the counter at room temperature.
Frost cupcakes within two days.
