Double Chocolate Cupcakes


                               **found in December 2007 Cooking Light

These cupcakes were the cover to the 2007 December issue of Cooking Light.  They are delicious.  I converted them to gluten-free.  These cupcakes are easy to make, and because simple ingredients are used, its best to purchase premium cocoa powder and dark chocolate.  Since they are studded with dark chocolate chunks, just dusting them with confections sugar is enough to decorate these treats.  Bake them in muffin cup liners.  A dozen of these are a terrific holiday treat to bring co-workers at the office.

1 cup all-purpose GF flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup egg substitute
1 tsp GF vanilla
1/2 cup 1 percent low fat buttermilk
1 1/4 ounces dark (70 percent cocoa) chocolate, finely chopped
2 tbsp powdered sugar

1. Prheat oven to 350 degree's
2. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measurig cup and leven with a knife.  Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt (first sifted with a sifter) into bowl and stir with a whisk.
3. Place granulated sugar and butter in a large blowl; beating with a mixer at medium speed until well combined (about 3 minutes).  Add egg substitute and vanilla, beating well.  Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to granulated sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.  Fold in chocolate.  Spoon batter into muffin cups lined with muffin cup liners.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 18 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.  Remove from pan; cool completely on a wire rack.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.  Yield: 12 cupcakes.

Enjoy!

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel-Caps ( which are different then Li

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain. A lot of my readers often describe how tough it is to drink black coffee without sweetener, so this one is for you guys!!   This recipe is a total Brain Trick.  It tastes sweet and chocolaty, so you think there is swee

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
