How to Make Sour Cream Fudge Cupcakes Made With Quinoa Flour

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup water.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups Splenda (or granulated sugar), 1 1/2 cups Bob's Red Mill quinoa flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Add the cooled cocoa mixture to the dry ingredients. Whisk in 2 large egg yolks, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup sour cream until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  8. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
