Gluten FREE Chocolate-Buttermilk Bite-Size
These gluten free chocolate buttermilk mini cakes are a perfect dessert for any small or grand party. The reasons behind this dessert are very important.
First, these bite-size cakes are not too sweet. Second, they are baked in to be served in small portions. Nobody will say “no” to a small bite of this delicious party dessert!
Check out step-by-step baking of this delicious sweet sensation. For your high-tea with girl-friends, also check out my favorite Dark Chocolate with Raspberries Cupcakes! So soft, they melt with every bite in your mouth!
A delicious taste with every bite!
The Batter will be the consistency of any regular muffin mix.
Use a couple of baking sheets to expedite the baking time!
Cool mini cakes on a parchment paper upside down, that would flatten them a bit.
Place the filling between the haves of the mini cakes. Do not overfill!
Easy to pack and take these bite-size desserts anywhere you go!
And if you just content with a cup of tea at home –
Enjoy it with a mini-cake to celebrate the tastes!
Gluten FREE Chocolate-Buttermilk Bite-Size Cakes
Ingredients
- 1 Cup buttermilk
- 1 Cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Cups Gluten Free flour
- 2/3 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1-1/3 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 Cup olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 Cup mascarpone cheese
- 3/4 Cup heavy cream
- 1/2 Cup confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
CAKES Ingredients
FILLING Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Coat the mini muffin form with non-stick spray or olive oil. You'll need 36 mini cakes baked.
- In a small bowl combine buttermilk, cooled coffee and vanilla. Add gluten free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Mix all ingredients well.
- In a large bowl, using hand mixer, beat the granulated sugar with the oil at medium-high speed until blended. Beat in the egg.
- Pour the #3 ingredients into the #2 ingredients. Mix well.
- Fill the muffin or cupcake forms with the batter. Bake until the mini cakes are fully cooked, about 12-15 minutes, until toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean.
- Carefully invert the cakes onto a parchment paper-lines baking sheet – this will slightly flatten them. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone, heavy cream, confectioner's sugar, vanilla, salt at medium speed, until smooth and thick. At first the mixture will be liquidy. Don't worry, it will start to thicken pretty fast.
- Cut the mini cakes into halves.
- Spread mascarpone filling onto one flat side and cover with the other half of the mini cake.
- Press down gently to spread the filling.
- Refrigerate for an hour before serving.
- Can be saved up to 3 days.

This is one of the easiest and no-time consuming recipes ever!
Tastes like mini Tiramisu cakes.
Keep them refrigerated for the delicious combination of the filling and the cake part.
I love to see gluten-free recipe more and more. Is this icing more the texture of a buttercream or whipped cream icing?

The filling is like for the Tiramisu, light and heavenly yummy!

Though we are not gluten sensitive, we still do as much Gluten FREE recipes at home as we can!
Our bodies do not need more gluten, rather less.
