Purchased from: Burlington, San Francisco, CAToday was Day #5 of Chocolate Baked Goods Theme Week. Somehow a warm oven and kitchen in the middle of winter is very appealing. And it's hard to imagine a baked goods week without including at least one chocolate cupcake in the mix.
I eat only gluten-free items; however, I don't always have time to bake from scratch. Happily there are now several gluten-free mixes available.
This Gluten Free Red Velvet Cupcake Mix from Heartland Gourmet (Lincoln, NE) offered a convenient cupcake solution. (The cream cheese frosting was not included, but the box did include a helpful recipe for it.)
These red-tinged* red velvet cupcakes had an appealing cake texture, and were moist and tasty. I cut back on the sugar a bit in the cream cheese frosting and enjoyed the whole frosted cupcake experience. If you prefer a lighter frosting, a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream on each cupcake would've worked well also.*In some recipes I located, the red coloring in red velvet cupcakes comes from beets; artificial food coloring was used here.
