Quest 100: Heart Container Cupcakes

Happy 100 Quests! We have been questing for awhile now and I wanted this post to be extra special. So today I sharing with you THE recipe for the cupcakes that are so popular with my family. I often make these for when we people over for board game days and other get-togethers. These are super chocolately and I will bet you that you can't just have one. For being gluten free, these cupcakes will definitely fill your heart container. Enjoy!

Gear!
1 GF chocolate cake mix - Betty Crocker
1 GF brownie mix - Betty Crocker
6 eggs
1 cup water, hot
2 tsp instant espesso
1 stick butter (1/2 cup) softened
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder

Quest!
For this particular recipe, you do need to use these particular mixes. They normally make a small pan of brownies and a single layer cake.










In a mixer, beat eggs until light yellow.











In a measuring cup, measure out your hot water from the tap. Then add instant espresso powder. Mix and let it sit for a little bit.










Add softened butter, vanilla and baking powder to eggs. Mix until combined.











Add mixes to the bowl and stir on low. Add in espresso mix and continue to mix for 2 minutes on medium. Should be like a cake mix when done. Let this sit for at least 5 minutes for the flour to fully absorb the liquid.








Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Get your cupcake liners ready in the pan and make sure to spray the liners with non stick spray. Spoon the cake mixture in so they come up about 3/4 of the way full. Should make 24 cupcakes.








Bake for 18-23 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the cupcakes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

Once completely cooled decorate with your favorite frosting. Today with have a light pink vanilla frosting.










Add red and pink hearts to indicate how much life the hero still has. Add some extra sprinkles for fun and Enjoy!

Quest 96: Chocolate Coconut Cave Cake


There are many, many caves in the LoZ series. Including the very first one where the Old Man warns that it is dangerous to go alone. Of course, he doesn't accompany you, but at least you end up with a sharp stick to protect yourself. Today, I have for you different kind of cave - a cave of wonders if you will - at least if you like coconut. The concept is pretty 1950s, but the results are gluten free and delicious. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix -We used Pillsbury
Mayonnaise instead of oil in recipe, plus the ingredients on the box
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

Filling:
2  egg whites
1/4  cup granulated sugar
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut flakes 
1 T tapioca flour 
1 tsp vanilla 

Glaze:
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
3 T milk
2 cups powdered sugar

Quest!
Prep the bundt pan by thoroughly spraying the pan with non stick spray. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Start with the cake mix. Find out what you need to make this cake mix and make it better! Exchange the oil with mayonnaise and add the other ingredients and mix well with a mixer. 














Add about half the cake mixture to the pan.
Get started on the filling. Whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Add in sugar and whip together.

Mix tapioca flour and coconut together and fold gently into the egg whites.
The result should come together in a chunk.


















Spoon filling over the first half of the cake mixture. Top with remaining cake mixture. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes and check for doneness.

It will dome up and pull away from the edges when it is done.
When the cake is cool but not cold remove from pan. It should release easier than if you wait until it is cold.
Let's make glaze. Melt butter in a sauce pan until just melted. Take off heat. Add milk and powdered sugar. Stir until it makes a smooth glaze.

Drizzle over the completely cooled cake in a fancy design and Enjoy!
