Z’s Cup of Tea – Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger

Linda Etherton

Zs flourless cupcakes
Sea from Book of Yum is the creator and usually the host of the monthly event, Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger.  This month I’m adopting Zoe from Z’s Cup of Tea.  Zoe is a teenage foodie blogger.  The goal of her blog is to “demonstrate and teach that gluten-free/dairy-free cooking and eating is for everyone, not just people with dietary sensitivities, allergies, or GI issues, and that it can be also easy – it doesn’t have to be hard.”  She also has many specific carbohydrate diet recipes on her blog.

The other week when I saw Zoe’s Gluten-Free Wednesday link for flourless chocolate cupcakes, I knew I had to make them. I have made flourless chocolate cakes before, and while good, they would always sink in the middle.  When you are talking about a 10 inch cake, it can be a pretty big depression in the cake.  That’s why I loved Zoe’s idea of making cupcakes (okay, it was Martha’s idea, but I learned it from Zoe).  I also love that she used honey instead of sugar in the recipe.

I followed her recipe exactly, except that I was out of paper cupcake liners and had to use foil ones, but I didn’t think that would matter.  They were easy to make and turned out beautifully.  They did sink a little in the middle as I expected, but also as I thought, it wasn’t a big deal in a little cupcake.  The family enjoyed these, and I highly recommend you give them a try.  And don’t forget to subscribe to Zoe’s blog while you’re there.

    These look great. Of course it's no surprise that I would like chocolate cupcakes.

    I had no idea Zoe was a teen! So impressive. I can't believe those cupcakes don't even use almond flour or coconut flour!

    Zoe is the best! So glad you featured her and her flourless chocolate cupcakes, Linda. I should have been making these babies the oher day instead of trying to tweak the disasters I made. LOL

    Great adoption post!

    Zoe and Lauren from Celiac Teen are two amazing young women! And your cupcakes look fantastic. I participated in Book of Yum's Adopt A Gluten Free Blogger this month and made chocolate muffins. Chocolate is the way to go!
