I saw this post from Brown Eyed Baker on Facebook and knew these would be my next cupcakes to make. They turned out so yummy!!!
Below is the adapted recipe to make them gluten free and cow's milk free.
Margarita Cupcakes - 12
For the Cupcakes:
75 grams Millet Flour
50 grams Amaranth Flour
50 grams Rice Flour
25 grams Quinoa Flour
25 grams Tapioca Flour
1½ teaspoons Baking Powder
¼ teaspoon Salt
113 grams Margarine
190 grams Castor Sugar
2 Eggs
Zest and Juice of 1½ Limes (the juice of the other ½ will be used in the frosting)
2 tablespoons Tequila
¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
½ cup Goat’s Buttermilk
To Brush the Cupcakes:
1 to 2 tablespoons Tequila
For the Tequila-Lime Frosting:
113 grams Margarine
113 grams Butter Crisco
500 grams Powdered Sugar
1 tablespoon Lime Juice
2 tablespoons Tequila
Pinch of coarse Salt
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder and salt.
3. In a stand mixer on medium-high speed, beat the margarine and sugar together until pale, light, and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
4. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
5. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the lime zest, lime juice, vanilla extract and tequila. Mix until combined. (The mixture may start to look curdled at this point, but don’t worry, it will all come back together, power on!)
6. Reduce the mixer speed low. Add the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk in two batches. Mix only until just incorporated, using a rubber spatula to give it one last mix by hand.
7. Fill cupcakes liners ¾ full. Bake for approximately 23-25 minutes or until just slightly golden and a toothpick shows only moist crumbs attached.
8. Allow cupcakes to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, and then remove to a cooling rack. Brush the tops of the cupcakes with the 1 to 2 tablespoons of tequila. Set the cupcakes aside to cool completely before frosting them.
9. To make the frosting, whip the margarine and crisco on medium-high speed in your stand mixer using the whisk attachment for 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium-low, and gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing and scraping the sides of the bowl until all is incorporated. Give it a mix on medium speed for about 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice, tequila and salt mix on medium-high speed until incorporated and fluffy. If the frosting appears a bit too soft, add some additional sugar, one spoonful at a time until desired consistency is reached. Frost cupcakes and garnish, if desired, with lime zest, an additional sprinkling of salt and a lime wedge.
