How to Make Fudge Cupcakes Gluten Free

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, melt 170g dark chocolate and 115g unsalted butter in a double boiler or microwave until smooth and combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, 120ml milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 150g almond flour, 50g unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder, 180g granulated sugar, and 50g chocolate chips.
  5. Gently stir the wet ingredients (from step 3) into the melted chocolate mixture (from step 2).
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients (from step 4) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate batter to lighten it.
  9. Fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, ensuring the batter remains light and airy.
  10. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cases, filling each about two-thirds full.
  11. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Dust with sifted cocoa powder or pure icing sugar, if desired. Enjoy!
