Gluten Free Cupcakes Sinking

by Laura
(Newport Beach, CA, USA)

Hello!

I've made plenty of gluten-free cookies, cakes and cupcakes. I've found that the cupcakes seem to sink quite a bit after they've cooled off. I can get them to "dome" up in the oven, but as soon as they're pulled out, they start to shrink!

I've tried different flour mixtures and seem to get the same effect. Just more or less of the same "shrinkage".

Any suggestions?

Eggs! NEW
by: WellyGirl

I realized that cakes such as sponge cake etc. require many eggs. Sponge cake is a very fluffy cake so I'm guessing that you should add more eggs. Think about souffle and how they rise really well because of the eggs. I'm not sure if baking flour is good for gluten-free flour because it has more impact towards normal flour. Hope this helps!

At least the icing doesn't slide off! NEW

Welcome to the world of gluten free cooking. I've found that most gluten free muffins, cakes and breads have flat tops. They still taste great ... and at least the icing doesn't slide off like it does on gluten cakes!

Hi, My experience has been that cakes, muffins, cupcakes etc sink if your mix was too moist. Try again, take note of your mix, if you think it is too moist add a little more flour (1 tablespoon at a time) until it looks right. Just trial and error.

The only success I've had with Cup Cakes has been by substituting flour for Bakels' Baking Mix, and sometimes reducing it. I.E instead of 2 cups of flour........1 1/2 cups baking mix, and also reducing the oil the recipe calls for on gluten free recipes. And castor sugar is way lighter for cupcakes.
I have an amazing Carrot Cake- muffin recipe.
And I can get away with fan bake instead of just bake option on my stove, where with cookies I can't. I also put them into muffin papers.
Good luck. If you would like some recipes let me know.
Kindest Regards
