Vickys Vanilla Cupcakes with Coffee/Mocha Icing, Gluten, Dairy, Egg & Soy-Free

• 170 grams (1 cup) potato starch - not flour
• 127 grams (1 cup) sorghum flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda / bicarb
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 240 ml rice milk or milk of choice
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 2 1/4 tsp Vickys Best Gluten-Free Egg Replacer (from my profile)mixed with 4 tbsp rice milk*
• 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp lemon juice
• 250 grams icing / powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp free-from butter - I use gold-foil wrapped Stork brand
• 2 tbsp cold brewed black coffee
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

1. * If using any other egg replacer you'll need to add 1 tsp of xanthan gum to your dry ingredients.
2. My egg replacer already has xanthan gum in it
3. Preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350F and line a 12 hole cupcake tin with paper liners
4. Mix the flour, starch, baking powder, baking soda, salt and xanthan if using together in a large bowl
5. Mix the sugar, milk, mixed egg replacer, oil, vanilla and lemon juice in another
6. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry and beat smooth
7. Pour into the cupcake liners, 3/4 full, and bake for 15 - 20 minutes until nicely domed and a toothpick tests clean
8. Let cool completely on a wire rack
9. Meanwhile put the icing sugar, cocoa, butter, vanilla and coffee in a bowl and beat together
10. Beat until smooth.
11. If you like your icing thicker just add extra icing sugar
12. Chill for an hour while the cupcakes cool, then frost them
13. These are best eaten the same day you make them.
14. You can part freeze them, then individually double wrap in clingfilm and continue freezing them in a lidded container, then defrost unwrapped as required
15. You can leave out the cocoa as I've done (I discovered I forgot to buy more....) for a plain coffee icing.
16. I actually mixed 2 tbsp of ground flaxseed through my icing instead of adding extra icing sugar to compensate and it gave a great speckled effect and texture
