Ingredients

  • 2.6 ounces white rice flour (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2.3 ounces cornstarch (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2.1 ounces sweet white sorghum flour (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons non-dairy buttery spread (such as Earth Balance), softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
  • Cooking spray
  • 6 tablespoons peach preserves
  • 2 cups frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping, thawed
  • 6 peach slices, cut into thirds

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Weigh or lightly spoon white rice flour, cornstarch, and sweet white sorghum flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine white rice flour, cornstarch, sweet white sorghum flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk.
  • Place sugar and buttery spread in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until blended. Add eggs and egg white, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture and soy milk alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
  • Place 36 paper muffin cup liners in miniature muffin cups; coat liners with cooking spray. Spoon two-thirds of batter into prepared cups, filling each cup halfway. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon peach preserves over batter in cups; top with remaining batter. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until cupcakes spring back when lightly touched in center. Cool 2 minutes in pans on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
  • Spoon whipped topping into a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip; pipe whipped topping onto cupcakes. Top cupcakes with peaches.
