"I got this recipe from http://www.glutenfreehub.com and wanted to share these wonderful little gems with everyone here! Because they really are a great cupcake, gluten free or not. My GF friend loves them (and so does my picky NON GF husband.) :-) (Note: I was able to find the Betty Crocker GF cake mix at Kroger)."

directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine the first seven ingredients in a large mixing bowl at medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. (The remaining ingredients are for the frosting!).
- Once combined, spoon the mixture into muffin pans lined with cupcake liners. Bake for 16 – 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when you stick it in the center.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for five minutes, then carefully remove them and place them on cooling racks.
-
For the Frosting:
- Beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until combined (but do not whip). Add salt.
- Gradually add powdered sugar with the mixer on slow until desired sweetness/texture.
- These cupcakes should be kept in the refrigerator if they aren’t eaten within 12-24 hours due to the cream cheese frosting!

I have made these cupcakes twice. Once using Bob's Red Mill GF yellow cake mix and once with Betty Crocker GF yellow cake mix. Both times I had a similar result - the cupcakes fell (deflated) after removing them from the oven, even though the toothpick came out clean. The center of the cupcake seems undercooked, even though the cupcakes stayed in the over longer than the specified cooking time by approx 5 min. I am an experienced baker and never had this happen before. I need a gf cupcake recipe for my niece's graduation party - help

These cupcakes are Amazing! I didn't make them red, so we just called them velvet cupcakes, and they are like velvet! So moist & delicious. Going to make them again for the second weekend in a row.

You are a lifesaver! I love this recipe and glutenfreehub is gone. THANK YOU.<br/>Betty Crocker has (or had) both whipped and regular cream cheese frosting that is gluten-free (says so on the can), in case you want to skip making your own.

I never log into a website to rate a recipe, but these cupcakes ROCK! I make a mean non-GF cake (Southern Living recipe), and this batter has the same consistency and very similar taste as the real thing. My husband and 7 year old LOVE them. My husband actually has to ration them out, allowing himself only two per day, or he would eat the whole batch in two days. Highly recommend!!!

These are the most delicious cupcakes I have ever had! (& I've been to all the fancy, super expensive cupcake shops). I made these for my hubby who is gluten free and he loved them! I couldn't taste a difference! I was skeptical when I saw it was the Betty crocker mix because when I used it following the instructions on the box it was not tasty at all BUT with the additions from this recipe it is to die for! Very moist! I added only one small jello instant mix box and used the chocolate Betty Crocker mix instead of vanilla. Delicious! This will be my go to recipe for now on! Thanks for posting!

I usually never take the time to sign in and review a recipe, but like the others on the review, I was so impressed by these cupcakes! Being new to gluten free, I had yet to find a tasty GF cake recipe until now... red velvet is my favorite! I ate 4 cupcakes the first night b/c they were so good. I also used a canned cream cheese frosting and they were wonderful! I plan on freezing half the batch w/o frosting wrapped in plastic wrap for when I am craving something sweet.
