Strawberry Cupcakes with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
Recipe by: cormeister Uploaded by Drimble Wedge
Here is a recipe for one of my fiancee's most recent attempts at gluten-free (but not dairy free) baking. She tweaked a recipe from this website and I (being gluten tolerant) think it turned out really well. The Betty Crocker GF cake mix she used tasted no different than a normal cake mix to me. She uses the Betty Crocker stuff in almost everything now and we both recommend it highly.
One caveat, we live at 7000ft elevation so the cupcakes will take less time to cook than the 21 minutes that she says.
