Ingredients

Cupcakes

  • 3 1/2 cups / 430 g all-purpose gluten free flour
  • 1 1/4 cups / 265 g caster sugar, superfine
  • 3 tsp / 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp / 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/2 cup / 125 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large / 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups / 375 ml full-cream milk, warmed
  • 1/2 cup / 125 ml vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp / 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt, or sour cream
  • 1 tsp / 1 tsp vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste
  • 2 cups / 300 g frozen or fresh raspberries
  • freeze dried raspberries to sprinkle
  • 1 cup / 200 g white chocolate melted

White Chocolate Ganache Frosting

  • 3 cups / 800 g white cooking chocolate
  • 3/4 cup / 200 ml thickened cream


Instructions

White Chocolate Ganache Frosting

  • Add white chocolate and cream to a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time, mixing each time until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature.

Cupcakes

  • Preheat a fan-forced oven to 160C (320F) or 180C (356F) for a conventional oven. Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the gluten free flour, baking powder, caster sugar and salt. Turn mixer on low speed and allow it to mix for a couple minutes to help everything combine well (alternatively you may do this by sifting the ingredients together). Add the softened butter and let it mix until it resembles a fine sand like texture.
  • Next, add warm milk, eggs, yogurt, Melted white chocolate, oil and vanilla extract in a large jug and whisk well.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients in a slow and steady stream until no dry ingredients are visible. Scrape down the bowl and mix for another 20 seconds.
  • Fill each cupcake with 1 tbsp raspberries and then fill each liner 3/4 of the way with batter. Using an ice cream scoop to transfer the batter into the cupcake liners makes this a quick and easy process otherwise you can use two tablespoons).
  • Bake for 20-25 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before frosting. The bottoms of the cupcakes may appear very soft, but as they cool, they will firm up a little.
  • Fit the end of a piping bag with a 1M tip and frost in a swirl. Sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries.

Notes

Cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
The brand of gluten free flour you use can make or break a cake recipe. Make sure you use a good quality gluten free flour.

Question: The 1 cup of white melted chocolate listed last in the cupcake ingredients; at what point do I add this to the batter? I do understand that 3 cups of white chocolate is still needed for the ganache.

The cake is amazing!!! I had a question about the frosting. How do you get the ganache to pipe? I left mine out all night, and it never hardened up. Do I need to whip it? Or add icing sugar to thicken it up? Or add more white chocolate? I used white chocolate chips, is this my downfall?

Ho Rosie! Hmm, was that my recipe? Sounds like there wasn’t enough chocolate added. N x
