Light as a Feather Cupcakes

Another round of baking tonight... this time it was the birthday cakes (yes, three! One GF / DF, one chocolate and one vanilla). It's Fletcher's cake that I am most excited about!

Tonight I tried out a brand recipe.... one that needed some adjustments but wow, totally worth the brain power! And now that I've done it right, I'm sharing it with you - enjoy!!



Ingredients
3 eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice
2x 1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup GF flour, sifted

Method
* Preheat oven to 175 degrees
1. Separate eggs and beat yolks on high for 5min.
2. Add lemon juice to yolks and beat for another 4min, or until it has doubled in size.
3. Reduce the speed to medium and mix in 1x 1/4 cup sugar.
4. Reduce the speed to low and mix in the flour.
5. Put to the side.
6. Beat egg whites until foamy then add the 2nd measure of sugar and beat until stiff peaks appear.
7. Mix the two mixtures together until the mix is all one colour.
8. Pour into cupcake cases and bake for 35min, or until golden brown.
9. Sift icing sugar over the top just before serving.
