Today is my birthday! I've had a great birthday and birthday weekend. For my cake this year, I wanted to celebrate with a real cupcake in my favorite flavor - Red Velvet. I haven't had Red Velvet Cake since I became gluten free a year and a half ago, which has been way too long. Since I like to complicate things, not only did I want a real Red Velvet Cupcake, but I wanted to bake it flourless with natural colors. This is how that attempt turned out...
Great flavor, but way too moist with sunken tops. I wanted so badly to try again, but it's my birthday and it's a gorgeous day out. Experimenting in the kitchen is not how I wanted to spend my day. Instead, I made some notes to improve my recipe next time (which will be soon) and turned to Betty Crocker's Gluten Free Devil's Food Cake Mix, red food coloring, and my husband to help. The outcome was...
completely and utterly successful! These gluten free Red Velvet Cupcakes with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting taste delicious and just like a real Red Velvet Cupcake. Happy Birthday to Me!
Click here for the Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake recipe - I followed the directions exactly. Instead of making one cake, I made 16 cupcakes which baked for 15-20 minutes.
Happy Birthday! Hope you spend it doing something special.
