  • 1-1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Xylitol
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Erythritol (Swerve)
  • 2 Eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Whisk to thoroughly combine and set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add the xyltiol and granulated erythritol and beat until well combined.
  • Add the eggs and oil to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
  • To the butter mixture, add vanilla and desired amount of food coloring and mix well. The red will deepen as dry ingredients are added.

  • Add batter to prepared cupcake pan or cake pan. For cupcakes, bake for 20-23 minutes. For a 8" cake, bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
