These are scrumptious!!!
Absolutely delicious I have never tasted anything GF that tastes this close to a real cupcake! I got the recipe from marthastewart.com and I used special dark baking cocoa and it tastes like a devil dog I also just switched out Beths all purpose GF baking flour at the same amount.

Here it is. I hope you enjoy :::

Ingredients

Makes 1 dozen

* 1 1/2 cups cake flour (I switched to GF with no problem)
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 1/4 cup cocoa powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 1 tablespoon white vinegar
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 1 1/4 cups water


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together oil, vinegar, vanilla, and water until well combined. Add flour mixture to the mixer and mix until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as necessary. Batter should look and feel more watery than normal cake batters.
4. Pour batter into prepared muffin tin, filling each cup 1/2 to 3/4 full. Transfer to oven and bake, rotating pan halfway through cooking, until a cake tester inserted into the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
5. Immediately remove cupcakes from muffin tin and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely before frosting.

Divvies Vanilla Frosting:
Makes enough for 1 dozen cupcakes

* 1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
* 1/2 cup dairy-free margarine, chilled
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 1 tablespoon rice milk

Directions

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, margarine, salt, and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as necessary.
2. Add rice milk and continue mixing until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, as necessary. With the mixer running, slowly add remaining 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, mix until well combined. Store in an airtight container, refrigerated, up to one week.

Does Beths GF flour have corn in it? I wonder if I can use my own rice flour concoction in place of it. . .

Ingredients
White rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, guar gum, salt.May Contain: Traces of soy.
Googled for it. Seems okay for corn free (I think?). No way Kathy could use it though. I think the only ingredients her household can have is the tapioca and maybe the salt. (Am I the only one who thinks this way when shopping and making recipes? ie: CP could have this, but Kathy and CS couldn't.. )
That recipe looks really good. I'll have to try it. Thanks!

I used part crisco and part Smart Balance light. They are both gluten and dairy free

I think Spectrum makes a margarine, as well as a shortening, and that they're both made from palm oil but I could be wrong.
