INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup or 95gr brown rice flour (oat flour and spelt flour or regular flour work as well)

  • 2 cups or 150gr almond flour (oat flour and spelt flour or regular flour work as well)

  • 2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

  • 50gr cacao powder 100%

  • 200ml boiled water

  • 200ml heavy cream or coconut cream

  • 75gr grass-fed unsalted butter or coconut oil

  • 100gr coconut sugar

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 4 organic eggs

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chocolate chunks (I use at least 85%)

For the cream cheese frosting:

  • 450gr cream cheese (at room temperature)

  • 200ml heavy cream

  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 50gr erythritol or sweetener of choice. If you use stevia you should only use 1-2 tablespoons


STEPS

  1. Preheat oven at 350F/175C. Grease a cupcake tray with butter/oil or add the cupcake papers into the mold. I use Halloween theme ones.

  2. In a bowl, mix rice flour, almond flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.

  3. In another bowl, mix boiled water with cacao powder. Add the heavy cream and mix again. Set aside.

  4. In a 3rd bowl, beat the butter/oil with vanilla extract and coconut sugar until fully combined. Add the eggs one by one and after that add in the previous cacao mix.

  5. Add the dry ingredients mix little by little into the previous mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

  6. Add the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the molds, don’t fill them completely because they will rise. You should make around 21 cupcakes.

  7. Bake for 15 minutes, let them cool 10 minutes inside the molds and let them cool on a rack afterwards.

  8. Make the cream cheese frosting just before serving, beat the cream cheese with the heavy cream and add the sweetener until fully combined. Pipe with desired design.


* Store in an air tight container without the frosting at room temperature for 1 week.

INGREDIENTES

  • 1 taza o 95gr harina de arroz integral (harina de avena, de espelta o regular también funciona)

  • 2 tazas o 150gr de harina de almendra (harina de avena, de espelta o regular también funciona)

  • 2 cucharaditas levadura en polvo

  • 1 cucharadita bicarbonato sódico

  • 1/2 cucharadita sal rosa del Himalaya

  • 50gr de cacao en polvo 100%

  • 200ml de agua hervida

  • 200ml de nata para montar o crema de coco

  • 75gr de mantequilla de vacas de pasto sin sal o aceite de coco virgen extra

  • 100gr de azúcar de coco

  • 1 cucharada de extracto de vainilla

  • 4 huevos

  • 1 taza de pepitas o trozos de chocolate negro (yo uso al menos del 85%)


For the cream cheese frosting:

  • 450gr queso crema (a temperatura ambiente)

  • 200ml nata para montar

  • 1-2 cucharadas de zumo de limón exprimido

  • 50gr eritritol o edulcorante que prefieras. Si usas stevia, utiliza solo 1-2 cucharadas

PASOS

  1. Precalentar horno a 175C. Engrasar una bandeja de cupcakes o colocar los papeles para la base.

  2. En un bol, mezclar harina de arroz con harina de almendra, sal, levadura y bicarbonato sódico. Reservar.

  3. En otro bol, mezclar el agua hervida con el cacao en polvo. Añadir la nata y mezclar de nuevo. Reservar.

  4. En otro bol, batir la mantequilla/aceite con el extracto de vainilla y el azúcar de coco. Añadir los huevos uno a uno y luego añadir la mezcla de cacao anterior.

  5. Añadir la primera mezcla de ingredientes secos y mezclar hasta que quede todo bien integrado.

  6. Añadir las pepitas/trozos de chocolate y verter la mezcla en los moldes, no llenar por completo ya que subirán un poco al hornearse. Te saldrán unos 21 cupcakes.

  7. Hornear 15 minutos, dejarlos enfriar 10 minutos en la bandeja y luego dejarlos enfriar por completo en una rejilla.

  8. Hacer el frosting de queso crema unos minutos antes de servir, batiendo el queso crema con la nata y el limón y luego añadir el edulcorante y mezclar hasta que quede bien integrado. Poner en una manga pastelera y decorar como quieras.

* Conservar en un recipiente hermético a temperatura ambiente sin el glaseado durante 1 semana.
