Gluten-free Christmas cupcakes
Recipe by Virtasalmen Viljatuote Oy
Gluten-free Christmas cupcakes are the Christmas table atmosphere makers! You can also decorate the muffins with gingerbread and Christmas flavours in other ways if you like!
Cooking time

minutesIngredients
150 g baking margarine
2 dl sugar
2 eggs
0,5 dl water
2,5 dl Virtasalmi Cereal Products Dark Gluten Free Flour Puree
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tsp vanilla sugar
2tspbaking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1tspcardamom
1 mm ground cloves
1 mm Pomeranian shell
n. 50 g dark chocolate
- Kuorrute
50 g margarine
100 g cream cheese
6 dl icing sugar
2,5tspgingerbread spice mix

gluten-free strudel
Preparation
- Whip the butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add the eggs and cold water.
- Mix the dry ingredients together and incorporate into the mixture. Finally, toss in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the muffin tins.
- Bake at 200 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Kuorrute
- Using a food processor or hand mixer, blend the cream cheese, almost melted margarine and paste colouring until smooth (add the paste colouring with a toothpick). Add the icing sugar a tablespoon at a time, mixing well. You can cover the bowl with a kitchen towel, for example, while mixing. The mixture will be quite hard and heavy and should not remain runny. Add more green colour if necessary.
- Allow the muffins to cool completely before frosting. Place the piping bag in a deep vase or glass and turn the edges outside the glass. Scoop the frosting into the bag and close the filled bag tightly, for example with a bag sealer. Frost the muffins and decorate to look like a Christmas tree.
- Store in the fridge and warm up before serving to soften the gluten-free Christmas cupcakes.

I made this frosting a couple of years ago and all I remember is that it tasted good. Now I'm thinking of applying the frosting to other muffins, and I can't remember how many muffins I have enough for?
Hi Miia!
The amount of frosting you need depends on how thick you want the frosting to be. 🙂
I seem to remember that the frosting is enough for about 10-20 cupcakes. The best way to find out is to experiment. 😉
Okay. Let's give it a try. 😊
Hey, can you make a whole dry cake with the words quantities?
Regards Ulla
Hi Ulla,
Sorry for the delay in replying! It should be fine in a smaller cake pan, on a lower heat and with a longer baking time.
