Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a cupcake pan with liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the GF 1:1 flour, cocoa powders, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes until light & fluffy.

Mixing on low speed, add the eggs one a time.

Scrape down the bowl and mix in the vanilla.

Add half of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Mix in the sour cream and oil.

Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Scrape down the bowl to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.

Fill the cupcake pan by adding 5 tablespoons of batter to each cup.

Smooth out the batter with a spoon and tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.

Bake the cupcakes for about 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Decorate and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Bring eggs, sour cream, and butter to room temperature before mixing to ensure proper emulsification and create a tender, moist crumb in your gluten-free cupcakes.
Dual Cocoa Powder Technique 🍫
Using both black cocoa and Dutch-processed cocoa creates complex depth and richness - the black cocoa adds intense fudgy notes while Dutch-processed provides smoothness for that signature decadent flavor.
Sour Cream is Your Secret Weapon 🥄
The acidity in sour cream reacts with baking powder to provide extra lift and tenderness while keeping the cupcakes impossibly moist - don't skip it or substitute with yogurt.
Careful Gluten-Free Flour Mixing 🎂
Overmixing gluten-free batters develops unwanted structure; fold in your flour blend gently just until combined to maintain that signature fudgy, tender texture without toughness.
Vanilla Bean Paste Timing ✨
Add vanilla bean paste at the very end after all mixing is complete to preserve its delicate aromatic compounds and ensure maximum flavor impact in every bite.
