Gluten Free Most Delicious Chocolate Cupcakes

A few months ago I met the most amazing woman on Periscope that bakes cupcakes to help veterans.
She is a veteran herself with the biggest heart to help those who have fought for our freedom.
I am thankful to have met her through Periscope and the PeriGirls, blessed to call her a friend.
Thank you Heather Weber for this delicious version of a gluten free chocolate cupcake!

One Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 16

An allergy friendly recipe that can be easily adapted to fit your individual needs.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups gluten free cake flour mix* or blend**
1 cup granulated sugar (I used organic sugar)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup oil
1 cup water or 1 cup milk (if dairy free is not required)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon vinegar

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line 2 (12-cup) muffin pans with 16 cupcake papers.

In a medium mixing bowl, mix all ingredients together until moist and well-blended. It should only take you less than a minute to blend the ingredients together.
Taste the batter and adjust accordingly (there are no raw eggs in the batter which makes it safe for taste testing – options: add more cocoa powder, sugar or salt and/or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg).

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake tins about 2/3 filled. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Frost with your favorite frosting.

Frosting:
1/3 cup butter*
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 to 4 tablespoons milk

Beat butter with handheld mixer or mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time while mixing. Add vanilla. Add milk or substitute with Silk, any type, one tablespoon at a time until you get the right consistence. Then frost away!
