Gluten Free Cupcakes
Vanilla Cupcakes
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
6
Stir in the plain Greek yogurt until the batter is smooth and well blended.
7
Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the cupcake batter.
8
Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
9
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10
Next, make the vanilla buttercream frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
11
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and continue beating until the frosting is fluffy and well combined.
12
Mix in the vanilla extract.
13
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. The frosting should be smooth and easy to spread.
14
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the vanilla buttercream frosting using a piping bag or a spatula.
15
Optionally, you can decorate the cupcakes with sprinkles, edible flowers, or any other toppings of your choice for a fun and festive touch. Finally, serve!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️Bring eggs, buttermilk, and butter to room temperature before mixing to ensure even incorporation and a tender crumb in your gluten-free cupcakes.
- Blend Gluten-Free Flour Properly 🌾Whisk your gluten-free flour blend thoroughly before measuring to distribute the xanthan gum evenly, preventing dense pockets in the finished cupcakes.
- Add Greek Yogurt for Moisture 🥄The Greek yogurt in this recipe adds tanginess and moisture; don't skip it or substitute with regular yogurt, as it prevents the dry texture common in gluten-free baked goods.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥣Mix gluten-free batter just until combined after adding dry ingredients; overmixing develops toughness since there's no gluten structure to handle extended mixing.
- Stabilize Buttercream with Cornstarch 💪Add 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch to your powdered sugar when making the frosting to prevent it from becoming too soft or weeping in warm conditions.
