As mentioned in the previous post on Red Velvet Cupcakes, I tried another recipe from Elana’s book Gluten-Free Cupcakes.
Her recipe for Strawberry Cupcakes looked enticing, but with only having raspberries in the fridge I decided to switch things up a bit. Not a lot of changes, raspberries from strawberries, but I also added some lemon extract to the batter. This added a nice tang to the berries.
Again, this recipe uses coconut flour and like I said before, I love that it only makes 8 cupcakes. The texture of these cupcakes is a cross between a muffin and a cupcake, which I enjoy. They do stand on their own and need no icing-however the cream cheese raspberry icing I topped them with. YUM!
