Riane also has some intolerance to some foods, so George made these vanilla cupcakes using spelt flour, coconut sugar and olivani. We have worked out that you need quite a lot of vanilla to overcome the earthiness of the spelt flour.
Riane, however, can eat dairy, so I think the icing may end up having butter in.
At least this way George can help her eat them(without the icing).
The colour of the cupcakes is worth noting as the coconut sugar has a caramel hue, and this is what gives these cupcakes their rich look. It is taking George a little while to get her head around this, as most of us have been bought up baking with all things "White".
This also was noticed when we made the rainbow cake, where the colours had a very autumn look and were not as bright as we would have expected. We are liking the more natural and "good for you" look of this new style of baking.
I will post a photo of the finished iced cupcakes later after George has worked her magic.
We also baked these in environment friendly unbleached Totally Chlorine free (TCF) baking cups. These are non stick, so look like they are falling off, because they are.
Riane is very much into sustainable living. I think she will like this.
