Just wondering though, the mixture was particularly dough like (checked and double checked the measurements) it this the way it supposed to look/feel - like bread mixture?

As far as the cake goes, I hadn't yet found my "go-to" cake recipe, so I'd probably have used it instead. It's the 1-2-3-4 Cake listed in my recipe archive. It would be perfect for these, if you want to give them another go. <br><br>The raspberry sauce sounds incredible. I love a choco-raspberry combo. Awesome idea!!Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03341825553830122060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936888459255880771.post-22800379420479327482012-02-20T18:39:19.922-05:002012-02-20T18:39:19.922-05:00Hey there!

The only problem we ran into was filling. The filling went in fine, but it didn't seem to be enough. We thought next time we might try two injection sights, so you get ganache throughout? <br>The only other comment I would have is that the cake itself tasted almost like a corn muffin?! We followed the recipe exactly...did anyone else find that? It was delicious, but not as much of a vanilla taste as I had expected.<br>On another note, we decided to make half the batch with the ganache filling, and another half with a raspberry sauce. For those we used a dollop of ganache and a raspberry to garnish. This combination was AMAZING. But, both were fantastic! Thanks so much for the recipe!Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936888459255880771.post-56012627624635127722011-03-20T10:08:48.318-04:002011-03-20T10:08:48.318-04:00Kirsten - Bummer that they didn't translate we...Kirsten - Bummer that they didn't translate well as GF, but that's good to know.

I would NOT recommend it. I don't know how this recipe would have/should have tasted with regular flour, but I would say it was a failure as a gluten-free cupcake. The cupcakes came out very dense and heavy and left a very weird aftertaste. The people at my office said they were delicious, but I also filled the center with chocolate ganache (which makes everything delicious). So, for those who are trying to go gluten free, this is not the cupcake recipe for you.Kirstennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936888459255880771.post-80543198845049408662010-02-03T22:20:24.726-05:002010-02-03T22:20:24.726-05:00Parislover32 - I got the beans at ebay, believe it...Parislover32 - I got the beans at ebay, believe it or not!
