Love this recipe - I adapted to gluten free and aside from a little cracking which should be fixed by tweaking the oven temp, they are the lightest and most moist GF cupcakes I have made. The batter is unusual in that it is like a heavy mousse but it cooks beautifully and the flavour is divine. (Oh I used vanilla paste which I think gave them a little bit of extra somethin somethin). Once filled and iced no one would know these are gluten free which is the ultimate in GF baking.

I love cupcakes! So, you'll see more recipes of these and amazing frosting than anything.
Also, I am a die hard Boston Red Sox fan, Manny Ramirez & Jason Varitek are my favorite baseball players of all time!
