Perfect Vanilla Rainbow Cupcakes | By Evy Photography | Stavanger Fotograf

I have a little girl who loves My little Pony and Rainbow Dash is a favourite at the moment. Although her birthday is in June she has started to plan her 6th birthday and she wants a My Little Pony birthday with a Rainbow cake. After looking at the internet we decided to try make some gluten free vanilla rainbow cupcakes. It was fun mixing all the colours.

I do enjoy baking with my girls and since we had the pleasure of a weekend with no major plans I took the opportunity to bake. We decided to try and make Rainbow Cupcakes.

A couple of years ago looking for the perfect Vanilla Cupcake Recipe I came across Glorious Treats and her Perfect Vanilla Cupcake Recipe. I converted the recipe to Metric and swapped it for Gluten Free Flour.

Perfect Vanilla Cupcakes (Gluten free)

170gr Gluten Free Multipurpose Flour

1 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Sugar

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

2 Eggs

150 gr Sugar

112 gr Oil

120 gr Buttermilk

Mix together all the dry ingredients in a bowl
In your mixer i.e. Kitchen Aid beat the eggs for approx 10 seconds
Add the sugar and continue beating on full speed for approx 1 minute.
Add the oil and beat until mixed
Add half of the dry mixture and beat until mix
Add half the buttermilk beat until mix, repeat for dry ingredients following with rest of the buttermilk

We usually double up to make 24-30 cupcakes.

Cook for approx 14 minutes at 180 degrees fahrenheit.

Rainbow Cupcakes:

To make the rainbow cupcakes with divided the mixture evenly into 6 and added the food colour.

We added one tiny spoon of each colour (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple).

I am not a scientist but for some reason the colours don’t blend and the end result gives a lovely rainbow effect.

The buttercream I don’t have a recipe for but I mix butter, icing sugar, philadelphia, whipping cream and flavour with some vanilla extract.

We hope you liked the end result of our attempt to make The perfect Gluten free Vanilla Rainbow Cupcakes.
