Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 cups almond flour
¾ cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sucanat (crystallized sugar cane juice)
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon pure lemon oil
½ cup prepared lemon curd
14 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup butter, softened
1 ⅓ cups confectioners' sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons pure lemon oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Line 14 muffin cups with paper liners.
Sift almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose baking flour, and baking powder together in a bowl.
Cream 1 cup butter with sucanat in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes; mix in ricotta cheese.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating each egg in thoroughly before adding the next one. Gradually beat in almond flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl often. Mix 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon lemon oil into the batter until evenly blended.
Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes have risen and are very lightly golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Do not open oven doors until 25 minutes of baking time have elapsed.
Allow cupcakes to cool thoroughly.
Cut plugs out of the centers of the cupcakes and fill each hole with about 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon curd.
Beat cream cheese and 1 cup butter in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Mix in confectioners' sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon oil to make a smooth, spreadable frosting. Frost the filled cupcakes.

Tips:

Before you start baking, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature. This will help the batter mix together smoothly and evenly.
Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will help prevent the cupcakes from overflowing in the oven.
Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the cupcakes dry.
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
If you're using a store-bought frosting, make sure it's gluten-free. You can also make your own gluten-free frosting using one of the many recipes available online.
Decorate the cupcakes with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

These gluten-free lemon cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a snack. So next time you're looking for a gluten-free dessert, give these cupcakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
