Simple Ingredients

This cupcake recipe uses just one flour: coconut flour. This makes the dessert gluten-free, grain-free, and easy to prepare. The delicious cupcakes are flavored with coffee, cocoa, and rum, giving them a moist, melt-in-your-mouth texture. YUM!

Easy 3-Step Preparation

  1. Prepare the Oven and Dry Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C) and line a muffin pan with parchment paper cups. In a large bowl, combine coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the eggs, melted butter, coconut sugar, coffee, and rum. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
  3. Bake and Frost: Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely, then cream together the frosting ingredients, refrigerate for 1 hour, and frost the cupcakes before dusting with cocoa powder.

Gluten-Free Tiramisu Cupcake with an Irresistible Topping

Like all tiramisu desserts, these cupcakes are topped with a light cream cheese frosting flavored with coffee and rum, adding the perfect finishing touch. This topping tastes just like the creamy layer in a tiramisu cake, adding an Italian touch to these simple cupcakes. To keep the tiramisu look and flavor, I dusted the cupcakes lightly with cocoa powder. It’s the perfect combination of traditional tiramisu flavors!

A Personal Favorite

I usually try not to pick favorites, but this gluten-free tiramisu cupcake is definitely one of my favorite cupcake recipes—especially with the addition of the creamy tiramisu frosting and only about 190 calories per cupcake.
