Gluten-free, Dairy-free David’s Custard Sponge Cupcakes
Ingredients for Dougnuts:
270 g General All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour
2 tsps. gluten free baking powder
115 g gluten free custard powder
410 g caster sugar
250 g dairy free butter
250 ml rice milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 eggs separated
Optional:
Icing for the top of the cakes
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180° Fan / 400°F / Gas Mark 6.
Line the required cupcakes tins with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, custard powder, and baking powder.
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk the milk, egg yolks and vanilla.
Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Cream the sugar and butter together.
Add the wet ingredients to the sugar butter mix. Don’t worry if the mixture looks like it curdles slightly - just keep mixing.
Add the dry ingredients in and mix until combined.
Finally add the egg whites, folding them in gradually.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate and serve!
Additional Notes:
The cakes in this picture were covered in fondant icing, but I often will use the custard buttercream icing and top these with a gluten free custard cream biscuit or just some sprinkles for extra detail.
You can store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperate for up to three days. In the fridge, they will store longer (if they aren’t eaten that is). The gluten-free cupcakes also freeze beautifully.
